The South Atlantic Gyre is a large system of circulating ocean currents located in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the global ocean circulation system and plays a significant role in oceanic and atmospheric processes. The gyre is characterized by a clockwise rotation in the Southern Hemisphere and is primarily formed by the interaction of several major currents, including: 1. **Brazil Current**: This warm current flows southward along the eastern coast of South America.
