hello, how are you

 

could you please provide me an answer to these questions

 

 

why is there a net northward flow of surface water across the equator in the Atlantic ocean but not in the pacific ocean?

 

During what seasons would you expect to find stable conditions in the surface layers of oceans in the tropics, at the poles and at temperate latitudes? what causes stability in each case? Here I think it has something to do with temperature and solstice months, my guess would be that in summer months is when there is better stability in the ocean layers, but don't know if that's correct, and if that same answer applies for the poles, tropics and temperate latitudes.

 

thank you.
