The high pressure in the center is due to the westerly winds on the northern side of the gyre and easterly trade winds on the southern side.

This build up of water in the center creates flow towards the equator in the upper of the ocean, through rather complex dynamics.

In a rigid body vortex flow of a fluid with constant density, the dynamic pressure is proportional to the square of the distance r from the axis.

Societies caught in this cycle find it difficult to avoid involvement in confrontation, conflict or all out warfare.

But these hopes were dashed as international lending dried up and trade collapsed, sending developing countries down the same spiral that industrial nations took.

Suddenly, the Fund has moved to center stage as the only agency seemingly capable of stemming the vicious downward spiral that is currently seizing emerging market stocks and bonds.

The term gyre can be used to refer to any type of vortex in the air or the sea, even one that is man made, but it is most commonly used in oceanography to refer to the major ocean systems.

It will be very tough not only for Greece, but for all the other overextended countries of Europe to tighten fiscal policy in the midst of recession without risking a deepening spiral.

Sitting on the sidelines, emerging market economies in general, and the so called BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) in particular, may feel fortunate to be spared this financial maelstrom.
