Walker circulation
The Walker circulation is a large-scale atmospheric circulation pattern over the tropical Pacific characterized by east–west trade winds, rising warm air over the western Pacific, and descending cooler air over the eastern Pacific, strongly linked to phenomena like El Niño and La Niña.

NER
Named-entity recognition
gpt-5-mini
Instruction
Given a phrase, classify it is english named entity (e.g., persons, organizations, works of art) in Latin script, or not (e.g., literals, dates, URLs, verbose phrases). For disambiguation, the statement where the phrase occurs as object is also given. Please return a JSON object with `phrase` (string, the phrase being analyzed) and `is_ne` (boolean, indicating whether the phrase is a Named Entity).
Input
Phrase: Walker circulation | Statement: [Equatorial Pacific, influences, Walker circulation]

gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Walker circulation Context triple: [Equatorial Pacific, influences, Walker circulation]
-
A.
Hadley circulation
Hadley circulation is a large-scale atmospheric circulation pattern in which warm air rises near the equator, moves poleward at high altitudes, cools and sinks in the subtropics, and returns equatorward near the surface, strongly influencing tropical and subtropical climate.
-
B.
Langmuir circulation
Langmuir circulation is a wind-driven pattern of shallow, counter-rotating vortices in the upper ocean that organizes floating material into parallel streaks on the water surface.
-
C.
Ekman transport
Ekman transport is an oceanographic process in which wind-driven surface waters move at an angle to the wind direction due to the Coriolis effect, causing net water transport perpendicular to the wind.
-
D.
Ekman layer
The Ekman layer is the thin region of fluid near a boundary (such as the ocean surface or seafloor) where the balance between friction and the Coriolis effect causes the flow to spiral with depth.
-
E.
Kármán vortex street
Kármán vortex street is a repeating pattern of swirling vortices formed when a fluid flows past a bluff body, fundamental in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
NEDg
Description generation
