Domain-specific¶
- Ocean Current
- The current is intensified and held narrow on the western side of the basin by Coriolis dynamics and vorticity conservation acting on the wind-driven gyre
This sourceThe founding demonstration that the latitudinal variation of the Coriolis parameter forces the wind-driven gyre's return flow into a swift, narrow western boundary current.

- Ocean Gyre
- The rotation sense, persistence, and internal structure follow from the Sverdrup balance (wind-stress curl driving meridional Sverdrup transport) and western-boundary intensification (Stommel 1948)

“An intense crowding of streamlines toward the western border of the ocean is discovered to be caused by variation of the Cortolis parameter with latitude.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 1 supported, 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
