By southern sea, I mean all the sea between Antarctica and Africa/S America/Australia. The pacific ocean is equally vast but yet it’s milder. I was looking at global winds on a website and almost the entire Southern Sea perpetually faces 60+ kmph winds. There are even 3000+ km long stretches of continuous 80 kmph winds. Why?
In: 1893
Wind.
The entire circumference at that latitude is just ocean. Wind whips around the entirety of the Earth at the latitude and encounters no landmass to abate it.
This leads to incredible sea state
