Temperature conversion
editThe temperature conversion is wrong. If it is 5 degrees F is -15 degrees C. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.38.155.233 (talk) 14:44, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Map
editThe map, nice as it is, is very confusing; as far as I can see it does not illustrate the subject at all. Am I wrong? -- Jao (talk) 11:30, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- It was fixed on March 5, thanks to User:Apcbg. —JAO • T • C 16:09, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
"Natural" boundary
editI don't particularly like the statement in the article that
- This line, like the Arctic tree line, is a natural boundary rather than an artificial one, like a line of latitude.
The Arctic tree line is a biological boundary, and difficult to define as a distinction between shrubs and trees has to be made: the Antarctic Convergence is hydrological, and perhaps best compared to watersheds or the tropical convergence phenomenon: it's not like the tree line, where trees will gradually give way to shrubs and then the last few straggling trees will disappear. 46.114.153.166 (talk) 13:39, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
- I think that yours is a valid point, perhaps you could suggest a better version? Apcbg (talk) 17:25, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Temperature drop
editI suppose the stated temperature drop is in ocean (not air) temperature. The article doesn't say which. I don't want to guess-change the article. Could someone who knows specify? - 173.28.188.227 (talk) 15:29, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
- Fixed, thanks for pointing out. Apcbg (talk) 17:21, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
Capitalisation
editWhy the cap on "Convergence"?--Gergyl (talk) 07:23, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
"north"
editDo we need the list of places 'north of the Antarctic Convergence'? Isn't everywhere on Earth that isn't south of the Antarctic Convergence, north of the Antarctic Convergence? DS (talk) 23:43, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- You are right, the relevant sections should better be titled 'Places next north of the Antarctic Convergence' and 'Places next south of the Antarctic Convergence'. Apcbg (talk) 12:53, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
Location
editThere is something wrong in the last line of this paragraph. My idea is that the first two figures should be 2.8 C degrees, and 5.0 F degrees, rather than 2.8 degrees C and 5.0 degrees F. This would jibe approximately with the other figures. In any case, 5.0F is definitely not equivalent to 2.8C. Mathyeti (talk) 05:36, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
