In the Australo-Oceanian region, the sea prevails over the land. The discovery and settlement of the islands of Oceania proceeded along sea routes, and in order to understand in what direction and in what ways this historical process proceeded, it is first of all necessary to form a clear idea of ​​the currents and winds of the Pacific Ocean and the seas washing the Australian mainland.

In the Pacific Ocean, sea currents form two great rings - one in the northern, the other in the southern hemisphere. In the tropical latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, the northeast trade winds drive the waters of the warm North Trade Wind Current to the west. At the Philippines, this current turns north and goes to the eastern shores of Japan, here taking the name Kuroshio. To the east of the island of Honshu, Kuroshio passes into the North Pacific Current, which, in the band of persistent westerly winds crosses the ocean from west to east in the fortieth latitudes. At the California coast, it turns south and merges with the North Tradewind. Thus, in the northern hemisphere, a ring is formed, within which the waters move clockwise.

In the tropical zone of the southern hemisphere, the southeast trade winds cause a warm South Trade Wind Current, which follows the same direction as the North Trade Wind, from east to west. The southern branches of the South Trade Wind current off the eastern coast of Australia deviate to the south and in the fortieth latitudes of the southern hemisphere merge with the West Winds, which drives huge masses of icy waters from west to east. This cold current breaks into the narrow gates of the Drake Passage, which separates Antarctica from Tierra del Fuego. However, the cold oceanic river does not fit into the narrow throat of the strait and, deviating to the north, rushes along the Chilean coast, forming a powerful Peruvian current. The Great Southern Ring closes at the Galapagos Islands, where the jets of the cold Peruvian Current join the warm South Equatorial Current. In the southern ring, unlike the northern one, the water circulates counterclockwise.

Between the northern and southern rings in the equatorial zone of calm, the Pacific Ocean crosses from west to east in the range of 4-10 ° N. latitude. the warm Equatorial countercurrent, also called the Equatorial countercurrent. It runs against the prevailing wind in some areas. Both trade winds and the course of the West Winds are very stable, since both the trade winds and winds in the forties of the southern hemisphere constantly blow in the same directions.

Significantly less stable is the Equatorial countercurrent, whose strip is often captured by trade winds blowing in the opposite direction and long-term calms, although, as studies show recent years, westerly winds and certain seasons are quite constant.

The winds and currents are very unstable within the southern ring, that is, between the South Equatorial Current and the course of the West Winds. In this area, which, depending on the time of year, captures a strip of the ocean in the range from 15° to 40-45° S, branches of these powerful currents and unstable winds blowing from different points of view form gyres of large and small radius. The wind regime and current regime are unstable in the seas of Western Oceania, near the coasts of New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and the Great Barrier Reef, as well as on the far northern periphery of the West Winds current (thirtieth latitudes) and between Easter Island and the Chilean coast.

Off the eastern coasts of New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, currents in winter time(from June to September) follow from the southeast to the northwest, and in the summer months (from November to March) they go in the opposite direction, obeying the monsoon regime, which captures the entire Indian Ocean and the western part of the Pacific Ocean in tropical latitudes. Off the coast of New Zealand, the winds circulate clockwise in winter, and in the summer they follow in the opposite direction, opposite to the direction of the prevailing currents.

Thus, in the southern half of the Pacific Ocean, there are only two stable and powerful currents - the South Trade Wind and the West Winds, which are through waterways. Unlike land highways, great sea currents are “self-propelled roads”.

Consider first the South Equatorial Current. On average, his speed is 18 miles per day. The trade winds blow almost continuously at a speed of five or six meters per second, and the sky in their zone is almost always blue and clear. Not without reason, having made the transition in the jet of this current from the shores of the New World to East Asia, Magellan named the newly discovered Pacific Ocean. The South Trade Wind is an ideal transoceanic route, but this route is favorable only for one-way traffic - from east to west (and southwest), from the northern coasts of Peru to the shores of Asia (and along the side branch to the islands of southwestern Oceania). Does it follow from this that in the belt of the South Trade Wind current two-way traffic, if not through, then "local" is absolutely impossible. Of course not. Wind circulation, especially in the western part of this belt, with a fairly advanced technique of sailing equipment and high level navigational art allows navigation at any angle to the main direction of this current, and sometimes against it. In addition, to the north of the South Equatorial Current passes, capturing the southern periphery of the Caroline Islands and the Marshall Islands, the Equatorial Countercurrent, not very stable, however, is favorable for navigation in eastbound.

From the Marshall Islands, the path south along the island garland of the Gilbert archipelago and further southeast to the islands of central Polynesia is very difficult, although it is possible for fairly stable ships, especially in summer, when winds often blow in these waters from the northwest rhumbs.

Thus, it was possible to get from the islands of the Malay Archipelago to Polynesia, following first to the east, along the Caroline Ridge, and then to the south, along the long chain of the Gilbert archipelago. The second route from the Malay Archipelago to Polynesia runs along the northern coast of New Guinea and further past the Solomon Islands and the New Hebrides to the islands of Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.

The northwest monsoon blows off New Guinea and the Solomon Islands during the summer months. They are far from as stable as the winter southeast trade winds, usually accompanied by showers and fogs, and often, reaching storm strength, are replaced by dead calms. However, for navigation in the east and southeast directions, the summer monsoons create a rather favorable, albeit unstable, situation in these waters.

The second oceanic highway - the course of the West Winds - runs in the fortieth latitudes of the southern hemisphere. This is a through route from Australia and New Zealand to the seas washing the southern tip South America. But the current of the West Winds crosses the Pacific Ocean far south of the islands of tropical Oceania. In addition, the fortieth latitudes of the southern hemisphere in terms of climatic conditions correspond to the fiftieth, if not even the sixtieth, latitudes of the northern hemisphere. Therefore, the course of the West Winds could not in ancient times connect Oceania with South America, especially South America with Oceania. It received the value of a through trans-Pacific highway only after the second expedition of Cook when this path was opened to European ships.

Major Currents in the Pacific Ocean

As already noted, a significant part of Oceania (and especially its southeastern islands) lies outside the South Trade Wind Current, inside the great southern ring.

Near the archipelagos of southeastern Oceania, changing each other in the most unexpected way, northeast, east and southeast winds blow; in winter, northerly winds are added and the frequency of easterly winds increases. To the southeast of the Tuamotu Archipelago, in the space between the 140th and 90th meridians in subtropical latitudes, the winds describe a complete circulation, and they are especially unstable in winter. To the south of Easter Island, the icy breath of high latitudes is already felt; here in winter the frequency of south winds reaches 40-50%.

Unstable winds, often of gale force, have a very complex effect on currents. On the map of sea currents throughout this area (with the exception of the coastal strip near the South American mainland), currents of different and sometimes directly opposite directions are shown. Directly off the Chilean and Peruvian coasts, steady southerly and southwesterly winds prevail, which drive the cold waters of the Peruvian current northward. Consequently, in Eastern Oceania, inside the ring formed by the South Trade Wind Current, the Western Wind Current and the Peruvian Current, the conditions for long-distance and especially through navigation both in the western and eastern directions are very unfavorable.

Pilots of the Pacific Highly Recommend all navigators, when crossing the Pacific Ocean, keep either the South Equatorial Current (routes South America - Australia; South America - Southeast Asia), or the currents of the West Winds (route Australia - South America).

Speaking of currents and winds, we deliberately did not mention Australia for the time being. The Australian mainland is washed not only by the Pacific, but also by the Indian Ocean and its two seas - Timor and Arafura. And in the southern half indian ocean, between the coasts of Africa and Australia, sea currents form a special closed ring in which water circulates according to the same laws as in the rings of the great currents of the South Pacific Ocean.

At approximately the same latitudes as the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean has a steady, warm South Equatorial Current that follows from east to west. Off the coast of Madagascar, it bifurcates. Its southern branch turns to the south and southeast and merges with the course of the West Winds in the fortieth latitudes. In the thirtieth and fortieth latitudes, approximately at the 80th meridian, a stable and cold West Australian Current departs from the West Winds to the northeast, which reaches the western coast of Australia and then flows into the South Equatorial Current. Thus, through routes go from the coast of Africa to the western and southern coasts of Australia.

It is no coincidence that after the Dutchman Brouwer discovered the Western Australian Current in 1611, the western and southern coasts of Australia were soon put on the map by compatriots and successors of Brouwer.

The East Australian water area presents a completely different picture. The northeast coast of Australia is bordered along its entire length by the Great barrier reef- coral palisade more than 2 thousand km long. In the narrow, shallow passages between the coast of the mainland and the chain of coral reefs, local, predominantly tidal currents operate, and therefore swimming off the north-eastern coast of Australia is fraught with great dangers.

More favorable navigation conditions are in the Tasman Sea, off the southeastern coast of the Australian mainland, which is devoid of coral barriers. Here the warm East Australian current passes from north to south, which then flows into the course of the West Winds. But in order to enter, following from the north, along the eastern coast of Australia, into the Tasman Sea, it is necessary to overcome the terrible Coral Sea. Therefore, before the appearance of Europeans in Australian waters, and in the age of the great geographical discoveries the eastern, most fertile part of the fifth continent was a completely unknown land for the rest of the world. The green shores of New South Wales were discovered more than a century and a half after the Dutch reached the desert coast of Western Australia.

In the seas washing the northern shores of Australia, Timor and Arafura in winter (April - August), southeast monsoons blow, and in summer (September - March) - southwest monsoons. This is an area of ​​stable monsoons, winds that have a huge impact on the climate in the northern part of the Indian Ocean and in South Asia. Monsoons also determine the direction of the prevailing currents in the Timor and Arafura seas.

In addition to winds and currents, the navigational capabilities of ships of all types are also determined by the conditions of navigation in coastal waters. After all, we must anchor in these waters, we must land on the shores of these lands. And in the conditions of Oceania, this is associated with enormous, sometimes insurmountable difficulties, and the greatest dangers are fraught with windward shores of volcanic and especially coral islands.

That's far from complete list"trouble and evil" awaiting sailors in the coastal waters of the oceanic islands:

1. reefs. Flooded and semi-flooded at high tide, invisible at night and in fog. Solid reef rings of coral atolls (narrow passages in these rings are extremely dangerous); "dragon's teeth" scattered along the coastline; "placers" of underwater rocks in interisland straits.

2. Winds. Trade winds and sea breezes on windward shores, southerly and western winds on leeward. Calms and breezes with strong coastal currents. Cyclones in the seas of Western Oceania.

3. currents. Tidal currents along barrier reefs, along high coasts, in bays, inter-island straits and in narrow reef-studded passages. Coastal currents driven by erratic winds, often changing direction suddenly.

The furious rumble of the surf and foamy ridges are dangerous signs of windward shores. In the strip of trade winds, surf and excitement create enormous difficulties for guiding ships to these shores. But the lee shores are no less dangerous.

To the south of the southern group of the Cook Islands and the Tuamotu archipelago, the sea is constantly experiencing waves from the southwestern points. It is caused by the steady westerly winds of the "roaring forties", which have a place to roam in the ocean. Pilots of the Pacific Ocean indicate, for example, that for this reason “on the low islands of the Tuamotu archipelago, a serious obstacle to landing is a strong roll on the shores leeward with respect to the trade winds; it is often more dangerous to seek refuge on leeward shores than on windward ones.

We will never know how many light-winged boats and clumsy rafts perished on the approaches to the treacherous shores of the islands of the South Seas. In ship registers, however, one can find data on shipwrecks that have occurred over the past century and a half, and these losses are calculated in multiple figures. Particularly dangerous are the waters of the Tuamotu Archipelago, the Marquesas, the Central Polynesian Sporades, the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia and northeastern Australia.

Sea currents are constant or periodic flows in the thickness of the world's oceans and seas. There are constant, periodic and irregular currents; surface and underwater, warm and cold currents. Depending on the cause of the current, wind and density currents are distinguished.
The direction of the currents is influenced by the force of the Earth's rotation: in the Northern Hemisphere, the currents move to the right, in the Southern - to the left.

The current is called warm if its temperature is warmer than the temperature of the surrounding waters, otherwise, the current is called cold.

Density currents are caused by pressure differences that result from uneven distribution of seawater density. Density currents are formed in the deep layers of the seas and oceans. A striking example of density flows is warm current Gulfstream.

Wind currents are formed under the action of winds, as a result of the friction forces of water and air, turbulent viscosity, pressure gradient, deflecting forces of the Earth's rotation, and some other factors. Wind currents are always superficial. Northern and South Trade winds, Western Winds, Intertrade Pacific and Atlantic.

1) Gulf Stream - a warm sea current in the Atlantic Ocean. In a broad sense, the Gulf Stream is a system of warm currents in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean from Florida to the Scandinavian Peninsula, Svalbard, Barents Sea and Northern Arctic Ocean.
Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the countries of Europe adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean have a milder climate than other regions at the same geographical latitude: masses of warm water heat the air above them, which is transferred to Europe by westerly winds. Deviations of air temperature from average latitude values ​​in January reach 15–20 °C in Norway, and more than 11 °C in Murmansk.

2) The Peruvian current is a cold surface current in the Pacific Ocean. Moves from south to north between 4° and 45° south latitude along the western coasts of Peru and Chile.

3) Canary current - cold and, subsequently, moderately warm sea current in the northeastern part Atlantic Ocean. Directed from north to south along the Iberian Peninsula and Northwest Africa as a branch of the North Atlantic Current.

4) The Labrador Current is a cold sea current in the Atlantic Ocean, flowing between the coast of Canada and Greenland and rushing south from the Baffin Sea to the Newfoundland Bank. There it meets the Gulf Stream.

5) The North Atlantic Current is a powerful warm ocean current that is the northeastern continuation of the Gulf Stream. Starts at the Great Newfoundland Bank. West of Ireland, the current is divided into two parts. One branch (the Canary Current) runs south and the other north along the coast of northwestern Europe. The current is believed to have a significant influence on the climate in Europe.

6) The cold California Current emerges from the North Pacific Current, moves along the coast of California from the northwest to the southeast, merges in the south with the North Tradewind Current.

7) Kuroshio, sometimes the Japan Current - a warm current off the southern and eastern coasts of Japan in the Pacific Ocean.

8) The Kuril current or Oyashio is a cold current in the northwest Pacific Ocean, which originates in the waters of the Arctic Ocean. In the south, near the Japanese Islands, it merges with Kuroshio. It flows along Kamchatka, the Kuriles and the Japanese islands.

9) The North Pacific Current is a warm ocean current in the North Pacific Ocean. It is formed as a result of the confluence of the Kuril Current and Kuroshio. Moves from the Japanese islands to the shores of North America.

10) Brazilian current - a warm current of the Atlantic Ocean off the eastern coast of South America, directed to the southwest.
