Above the surface, winds carry seeds from mainland plants to the island.

海面之上，海风只能将大陆上少量的种子送到海岛。

They create very, very strong surface winds that are much different than the ambient conditions around.

它们创造了非常非常强的表面风，与周围的环境条件大不相同。

Earlier satellites had trouble measuring ocean surface winds at the center of storms.

早期的卫星无法测量风暴中心的海面风。

Because the oceans are so vast, and, naturally, so flat at the surface, winds are free to develop as part of large weather  systems, be they tropical, temperate or polar in origin.

由于海洋如此广阔，而且表面自然平坦，风可以自由发展成为大型天气系统的一部分，无论其起源于热带、温带还是极地。
