The usual graphic representation of currents is, at best, a static picture. 

 The water masses are in constant motion, the movement being exceedingly variable 

 in some regions and relatively constant in others. The currents described in 

 this report are those which exhibit a recognizable permanent or seasonal flow, 

 are frequently considered part of the prevailing current, are less defined, can 

 be described from insufficient data, are mainly tidal, are under the influence 

 of winds or river discharge, or are variable and turning. The boundaries shown 

 are actually regions of gradual change between zones of more persistent flow and 

 zones of less stable or weaker flow.
