Scientists puzzled by giant whirlpools off Guyana’s coast

Georgetown : U.S. scientists have discovered two giant whirlpools in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Guyana and Suriname. It became a sensational discovery because this part of the ocean has been studied thoroughly and no one expected anything like that to appear in the area. More importantly, no one can understand where the whirlpools came from and what surprises they may bring to people. According to Brazilian scientist Guilherme Castellane, the two funnels are approximately 400 kilometers in diameter. Until now, these were not known on Earth. The funnels reportedly exert a strong influence on climate changes that have been registered during the recent years. “Funnels rotate clockwise. They are moving in the ocean like giant frisbees, two discs thrown into the air. Rotation occurs at a rate of one meter per second. The speed is sufficiently large compared to the speed of oceanic currents. On the border hoppers is a wave-step height of 40 cm,” Castellane said. The discovery was made yesterday.

    The Earth’s angular momentum is changing ….look at hurricanes Ivan and Thomas path and see how they moved close by Guyana ….Polar shift is coming magnetic and physical

    The earth’s angular momentum is changing Major Earth changes are coming ….plot the course of hurricanes Ivan and Thomas and you will see how the Earth’s magnetic pole is shifting …look at the hurricane paths trending lower south defying the corialis effect …Head for them hills GT Guyana …Run Forest Run

    I don’t think its something to be too alarmed about, it is not uncommon in the tropics. In the tropics we have a top layer of warm water and below the thermocline, a layer of cold water. The warm water evaporates into the atmostphere, but the salt does not, as a result it increases the salinity of the water which causes it to sink to make way for less “salty” water….and a whirlpool can form.
