This area contains a lot of litter! It is estimated to cover an area roughly twice the size of Texas and contains approximately 3 million tons of plastic litter, though much of this plastic is broken up into pieces too small to see with the naked eye. One of the largest ocean gyres, the North Pacific gyre, is home to an area called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This slowing or halting of the ocean conveyor system will have impacts on the climate in the North Atlantic and surrounding areas. The addition of fresh water from the Beaufort gyre along with fresh water from melting sea ice could be contributing to the disruption of the global ocean current system known as the ocean conveyor. When winds slack off and the gyre weakens, fresh water leaks out of the gyre and into the North Atlantic Ocean. Scientists have been keeping a close eye on the Beaufort gyre because of the relatively fresh water it holds.

This gyre is full of relatively fresh water as Siberian and Canadian rivers drain into the Beaufort gyre.

The Beaufort gyre is a huge vortex of water being driven by strong winds that force currents in a clockwise direction. One such smaller gyre is the Beaufort gyre found in the Arctic Ocean. Many other smaller gyres exist in the ocean too.

A simplistic drawing of those can be seen on this page. The major gyres of the ocean include: North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Ocean gyres in the Northern hemisphere rotate clockwise and gyres in the Southern hemisphere rotate counter-clockwise due to the Coriolis effect. Ocean gyres dominate the open ocean and represent the long-term average pattern of ocean surface currents. Ocean gyres are large swirling bodies of water that are often on the scale of a whole ocean basin or 1000’s of kilometers across (hundreds to thousands of miles across).

Please check to make sure you have not enabled Slack's G-Cal integration. Why is my Slack status still not syncing even though I have enabled it in Clockwise?

If your meeting is categorized as any of the below, your Slack status will show that you are in a meeting: Read our article on our Slack app's security to learn more about the specific permissions and why they are needed! Which of the event categories will show that I am "In a Meeting" using the Slack Status sync? What permissions do you request when I set up my Slack account? To disconnect Clockwise from Slack, access the Clockwise Settings menu and click on the trash can next to your connected Slack organization name. Adjust the settings from the first dropdown " Auto sync calendar to Slack status".Go to Settings, select "Integrations" and navigate to the Slack section.How do I change my status to not show meeting titles? Clockwise will resume syncing after the "Clear after" time you set in Slack Manually set your status in Slack and Clockwise will send you a confirmation message of pausing status sync. How do I temporarily override status set by Clockwise?
