An '''ocean current''' is continuous, directed movement of [[ocean water]]. Ocean currents are rivers of hot or cold water within the ocean. The currents are generated from the forces acting upon the water like the planet rotation, the wind, the [[temperature]] and [[salinity]] (hence [[isopycnal]]) differences and the [[tide|gravitation of the moon]]. The [[depth contour]]s, the [[shore|shoreline]] and other currents influence the current's direction and strength. |
|||
The meshing of all of these characteristics is what creates the great flow of the global conveyor belt which plays a dominant part in the climate of many of the Earth’s regions. |

Non-notable minor college football coach and administrator, no substantive, independent articles about him.

Prod removed by creator stating "article has been improved and sources added," but the sources are still only from the schools in question and not independent, and none establish his notability per [[WP:BIO]], [[WP:ATHLETE]] or [[WP:PROF]].

Ocean [[current (water)|currents]] can flow for thousands of kilometers. They are very important in determining the [[climate]]s of the [[continent]]s, especially those regions bordering on the ocean. Perhaps the most striking example is the [[Gulf Stream]], which makes northwest [[Europe]] much more temperate than any other region at the same latitude. Another example is the [[Hawaiian Islands]], where the [[climate]] is cooler (sub-tropical) than the tropical latitudes in which they are located because of the [[California Current]]. |

**''Fails [[WP:ATHLETE]] even on the broadest measure (his head coaching career has been in NAIA and low level colleges, not at the "highest level of amateur sports")'' No clear-cut definition is given at [[WP:ATHLETE]] what specifically measures the "highest level of amateur sports" for [[American football]] or any other sport. There is an established [[WP:CFB|college football project]] that has discussed the matter thoroughly and continues to arrive on the conclusion that "[[college football]]" is the highest level of the amateur sport and not necessarily "NCAA Division I FBS" football. Reasons include avoiding violaitons of [[WP:NPOV]], [[WP:NOTBIGENOUGH]], and [[WP:IDONTLIKEIT]] as well as the benefits of maintaining the data. As a parallel, Wikipedia tends to keep all [[high school]] articles, regardless of student population size. There is also additional historical value, the potential merger of the NAIA and the NCAA, that schools sometimes switch from NAIA to NCAA, and teams sometimes compete across the organizing bodies. There are many, many reasons to support the point that NAIA college football programs are among the "highest level" of the sport. |
|||
** ''fails the [[WP:PROF|prof test]] as well.'' This is also discussed on the essay in the section '''Academic Standards'' and how a game can be considered the athletic equivalent to an academic published paper. The essay goes into details that would be redundant to re-print here. Not covered in the essay is the additional point that the subject served as [[athletic director]] for at least two schools, which would qualify for criteria #5 "The person holds or has held a named/personal chair appointment... at a major institution of higher education and research." -- I maintain that both "head football coach" and "athletic director" would both be that appointment and meet that requirement. |
|||
==Background== |
|||
** ''Prod removed by creator stating "article has been improved and sources added," but the sources are still only from the schools in question and not independent,'' Yes the prod was removed, as per recommended procedure and done in [[WP:GOODFAITH|good faith]]. However, a quick survey of the sources show that while school sources are used, there are also sources outside the school: Topeka Capital-Journal, Northern Sun Conference, NJCFCA, and the College Football Data Warehouse. |

Surface ocean currents are generally wind driven and develop their typical clockwise spirals in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise rotation in the southern hemisphere because of the imposed wind stresses. In wind driven currents, the [[Ekman spiral]] effect results in the currents flowing at an angle to the driving winds. The areas of surface ocean currents move somewhat with the [[season]]s; this is most notable in equatorial currents. |
|||

*** ''or [[WP:PROF]].'' (discussed above) |
|||
Deep ocean currents are driven by density and temperature gradients. [[Thermohaline circulation]], also known as the ocean's conveyor belt, refers to the deep ocean density-driven [[ocean basin]] currents. These currents, which flow under the surface of the ocean and are thus hidden from immediate detection, are called [[submarine river]]s. These are currently being researched by a fleet of underwater robots called [[Argo (oceanography)|Argo]]. [[Upwelling]] and [[downwelling]] areas in the oceans are areas where significant vertical movement of ocean water is observed. |

** Additional points: In previous AfD discussions listed above, nominator has accused the project of attempting to sidestep policy by making its own notability policy and expressing that as policy.

The essay provides the additional benefit of having potential repeated discussiosn in one place. Wikipedia encourages writing essays and that has been done (and continues to be done) at the college football project. Also, please note that on many occasions input has been requested from both inside and outside the college football project for feedback on the essay, and very little has been provied on that essay's [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Notability|talk page]]. This (along with the extended period of time) has given a form of [[WP:POCKET|pocket consensus]] or at least general acceptance of the concepts discussed in the essay.

Surface currents make up about 10% of all the water in the ocean. Surface currents are generally restricted to the upper 400 meters of the ocean. The movement of deep water in the ocean basins is by density driven forces and gravity. The density difference is a function of different temperatures and salinity. Deep waters sink into the deep ocean basins at high latitudes where the temperatures are cold enough to cause the density to increase. The main causes of currents are: solar heating, winds and gravity. |

***'''Reply:''' Without indulging in an equally rambling counter essay, (1) In terms of college football, the near-unanimous consensus is that it applies to Division I NCAA football, the only demurrers being the aforementioned three or four editors at the CFB Wikiproject.

I doubt many (beyond CFB, of course) would agree that a college with 683 undergrads is a "major" anything, or that being the founding coach in a NAIA program that size is a "widely recognized contribution;" and (4) That Mr. McDonald feels that "a game can be considered the athletic equivalent to an academic published paper" I don't argue, but I'd wager he'd be met at best with derision if he took that premise to the academic community.

Ocean currents are measured in [[Sverdrup]] with the symbol Sv, where 1 Sv is equivalent to a volume flow rate of 10<sup>6</sup> cubic meters per second. |
|||
In addition, temperature of the water plays a big role. The warmer the water is the less salt it has therefore it is less dense and this water will rise up towards the surface. Cooler water is much denser because of the high concentration of salt within the water and it sinks to the bottom. This cycle of warming and cooling is what creates the mixing and therefore the driving currents system. The cooler water, in addition to sinking, will make its way towards the equator to gather heat where then, in turn, it will make its way towards the poles to cool completing the cycle. This is the basic mechanism by which ocean currents are activated. |
|||
==Global Conveyor Belt== |
|||
The North Atlantic is considered the beginning to the global conveyor belt. If the origination is knocked out of whack then chances are the rest of the belt may have grave issues with correcting the variation. Even though heat transport is such a large issue there are still other factors which should be able to account for the change and correct it or at least slow down the weakening throughout the conveyor belt. These factors include many of the same mechanisms that begin currents; temperature, the wind, and the density of the water. Each part plays a vast role in the main portions of the current system. These portions include formation, flow, and force of the current. |
|||
Another section of the world’s oceans which is being researched and has had a recent major scientific discovery is the southern oceans. At a certain depth within this marine region all of the oceans are connected, have formed a ‘supergyre,’ and have an impact on each other. |
|||
== Significance to people and sea life == |
|||
Knowledge of surface ocean currents is essential in reducing costs of shipping, since they reduce fuel costs. In the sail-ship era knowledge was even more essential. A good example of this is the Agulhas current, which long prevented Portuguese sailors from reaching India. Even today, the round-the-world sailing competitors employ surface currents to their benefit. |
|||
Ocean currents are also very important in the dispersal of many life forms. A dramatic example is the [[eel story|life-cycle of the eel]]. |
|||
Ocean currents are important in the study of [[marine debris]], and vice versa. |
|||
One of those systems which would greatly be affected by a change in ocean currents would be coral reefs. Coral reefs are some of the most fascinating environments on the planet. |
