	Fengshui for the Southern Hemisphere (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Ideally, dwellings in the southern hemisphere are orientated to the suns position in the north, with protection from the colder winds emanating from the south, southwest and southeast.
		In thenorthern hemisphere, the element water is generated from the cold north, and is associated with the lowest ebb of chi-winter and the number one.
		Trigram fire in the south, water in the north, thunder in the east, lake in the west, and the stillness of mountain in the northeast and strong metal chi of heaven in the northwest.

		Water moves at 90° to the RIGHT of the westerlies (note that we are still in the northern hemisphere).
		As the water flows downhill it experiences a deflection to the right or left of motion, and the result is that the water runs along the contours of the hill.
		Water is being forced through a narrow area, similar to what happens when you put your thumb over the opening of a hose and the water comes squirting out much faster than before.

	Water hemisphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The water hemisphere, sometimes but not always capitalized as the Water Hemisphere, is a hemisphere on the earth centered on 47°13' S, 178°28' E. Its central point is in New Zealand.
		The water hemisphere has only one-seventh of the land on the earth, including Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, small part of Southeast Asia and south part of South America.
		The area of the oceans of the water hemisphere is much larger than its land area, but the area of the oceans of the land hemisphere is still larger than its land area.

	Oceans -12 & 13
		The Southern Hemisphere is often referred to as the water hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere is often referred to as the land hemisphere.
		In the upper 100 m (330 ft) of the sea, the water is almost as warm as at the surface.
		Water sinks in the Weddell Sea to form what is known as the Antarctic Bottom water, which flows gradually northward into the Atlantic and eastward into the Indian and Pacific oceans.

		The circulation is counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
		The gyre mounds are offset to the west in both northern and southern hemispheres; therefore the intensification is along the western side of the gyres in both hemispheres.
		The gyres are offset toward the west in both hemispheres; therefore the western currents are faster in all of the five gyres on earth.

	Feng Shui for the Southern Hemisphere (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		water goes down a sink in a clockwise direction and all the major ocean and wind patterns move in a clockwise direction.
		For example, the ideal location for the kitchen in the northern hemisphere is the southeast, and for the southern hemisphere it is exactly the same position of the sun - in the northeast.
		In the northern hemisphere, February 4th is the starting point, as it is the beginning of the spring and its associated element 'wood'.

	Outln Ch12
		In the northern hemisphere, 61% of surface areas is ocean, while in the southern hemisphere 81% is ocean.
		Because the northern hemisphere thus includes about two-thirds of all the land, it is sometimes called the land hemisphere and the southern hemisphere by comparison would be the water hemisphere.
		In deeper waters, calcareous materials tend to dissolve because the CO content of the water is high enough to cause dissolution of calcitic material.

	The Ocean and our Climate
		The heat that is removed is carried toward the poles by water vapor (as the latent heat of vaporization of water) and released at higher latitudes where condensation and precipitation occur.
		Under most Earth surface conditions because of the relatively low surface temperature of the Earth water is in the solid or liquid form because of the "stickiness" of water (i.e., the hydrogen bonding between water molecules).
		If this same situation occurs in the Southern Hemisphere with a parcel of air moving southward from the equator due to the north wind, the deflection is still to the east relative to the Earth's surface, however, this deflection is now to the left of the direction of the air motion.

	Non El Niño Years: colder water in the eastern tropical Pacific
		The easterly trade winds of the tropics drag the surface waters of the eastern Pacific away from the coastlines of the Americas.
		As it moves away, the water is deflected northward (in the northern hemisphere) by the Coriolis force and southward (in the southern hemisphere), causing water to move away from the equator in both directions.
		As surface water propagates westward, it is heated by the atmosphere and the sun, allowing warmer waters to accumulate in the western Pacific.

	Climate
		The annual variation of the global-mean precipitable water [W] and the associated hydrological cycle were analyzed with the upper-air data generated by the Global Data Assimilation System of the National Meteorological Center for 1981-1991 and the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts from 1983-1991.
		The hemispheric-mean ([])water budget analysis shows that water vapor is transported from the winter to the summer hemisphere across the equator by the Hadley circulation, and that the annual variations in the water vapor sink [P - E] for both hemispheres also follow the same seasonal march.
		The climatological hemispheric-mean water budgets reveal that the Southern Hemisphere is a water vapor source and the Northern Hemisphere is a water vapor sink.

		In the Northern Hemisphere, water is deflected to the right of the direction of the wind; in the Southern Hemisphere, water is deflected to the left.
		Gyres in the northern hemisphere rotate clockwise and gyres in the southern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.
		The densest water in the world is produced in the Antarctic Ocean, primarily in the Weddell Sea in the winter, along the edge of the Antarctic continent.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Holy Water Fonts
		Vessels intended for the use of holy water are of very ancient origin, and archaeological testimony compensates, to a certain extent, for the silence which historical and liturgical documents maintain in their regard.
		Holy water fonts may be divided into three categories: stationary fonts, placed at the entrance to churches; portable fonts, placed for aspersions and sacramental rites; and private fonts, in which holy water is kept in private houses.
		In the Middle Ages holy water was held in such respect that it was not even taken from the font unless by means of an aspersorium or holy water sprinkler, attached by a small chain.

		The southern hemisphere is the counterpart of this movement, our major wind and water patterns flow anticlockwise, and our sun's movement is high due north.
		The West life groups refer to the more yin cooler aspects of Earth and Metal, which are represented in the southern hemisphere as the NW, W, SW and SE directions.
		Unless adjustments are made for the southern hemisphere and for local time, the correct elements in the chart representing the type of force present at birth - will not resonate appropriately.

	Outln Ch12
		In surface ocean waters, salinity is controlled by the balance between rain-fall or fresh-water inflow (which lower salinity) versus evaporation (which raises salinity).
		In the transition zone a layer of rapid temperature drop with depth is the thermocline, and a zone of rapid salinity increase with depth is the halocline.
		Because the ultimate governing factor in water stratification is water density, we may sometimes observe a reversed thermocline (overridden by a stronger salinity increase) or reversed halocline (overridden by a stronger temperature decrease).

	Discovery Online, The Skinny On ... Why Toilet Bowl Water Twirls Clockwise
		And it twirls counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere.
		The catch is that water floating at the north end of the bowl has a scidge less ground to cover per second; and the water hovering over the south end has a skidge more ground to cover.
		So the water at the north gets a little bit ahead, the water at the south gets a little bit behind, and when you flush, the clockwise twirl comes to fruition.

	Wind-Driven Ocean Currents, Alaska Science Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The combination of this so-called Coriolis force and the force of the wind results in the water surface moving at a 45 degree angle to the wind direction--to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
		Going down in depth in the Northern Hemisphere, the water is driven more and more to the right, until at a depth of about 60 meters, the water actually is driven opposite the direction of the wind.
		If the water is driven away, the result is upwelling to replace the water forced away.

		The Coriolis effect is the name of the apparent deflection of ocean currents or winds to the right of their course in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left of their course in the Southern Hemisphere.
		Sea level is higher at the equator because of thermal expansion of warm waters and diminishes toward the poles.
		Circulation of the gyres is clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

	OCEANIC CIRCULATION
		Surface waters pushed out of the channel to the north reconnect with the water upwelled in the south by traveling all the way up to the north polar island, sinking to middle depths, and then traveling south again as part of a deep western boundary current along the barrier.
		This is because as a water mass moves from a shallow water column to a deeper one, it must pass through all intervening levels in the deep water column.
		This numerical entrainment keeps dense water at the top of shelves unless the slope is resolved by the model grid, a prohibitive constraint for global models.

	Role of the Ocean Conveyor Belt as a Cause of Global Multidecadal Climate
		Salinity alterations in the North Atlantic are caused by variations in 1) fresh water (ice) flux from the Arctic, and by the 2) strength of the thermohaline circulation itself.
		For cold ocean deep water to upwell from bottom levels, it is necessary that this water be warmed by diffusion heating from its surrounding water masses.
		Upwelling water must be warmed to rise from the North Atlantic water sinking water at temperatures of 2 to 3°C.

		If liquid water does still flow on Mars, and some experts remain sceptical, the planet's southern hemisphere would be a good place to look.
		It had been thought that water on Mars was in the form of ice below the surface and unlikely to run free on the surface.
		Mars enthusiasts will be awaiting eagerly the opportunity, in the next few years, to place a lander on the surface of the planet in an attempt to resolve the question one way or the other.

	The Straight Dope: Do bathtubs drain counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere?
		The erroneous bit of folk wisdom you refer to says that water always drains in a clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere, and in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere.
		However, when you get down to itty-bitty phenomena such as the water draining out of your bathtub, the Coriolis effect is insignificant, amounting to roughly three ten-millionths of the force of gravity (in Boston, at least, which is where they happened to do the measuring).
		The boring truth is that water drains every which way no matter what hemisphere you're in, for reasons which have to do mostly with the shape of the drain, the way you poured in the water in the first place, and so on.

		Geomorphology is fundamentally inspired by the shapes of the terrain we see every day; the meandering course of a river, the rounded shapes of some hills and the pointed shapes of others, the seemingly-random capes and bays of a coastline.
		While it is generally accepted that, for instance, water erodes rock over a long period of time, that doesn't answer the question of whether any particular landform was created by water erosion, how long ago, whether wind played a role also, and so forth.
		Geomorpology delves into these questions in depth, seeking both to explain origins, and so to provide predictive power that can be used in activities such as civil engineering.
