The predominance of islands and few large continents results in a strong equtorial current which keeps the climate moderate due to ocean-driven temperature stability. There is some disturbance of the prevailing winds along the western coasts, and around island clusters as the prevailing currents split around them, creating eddies and turbulent areas downstream. This results to local variations and development of strong monsoonal effects.  These equatorial currents are balanced by intense polar currents and the development of two oceanic gyres in each hemisphere.</p><p></p><p>The four moons, create complex tidal dynamics depending on the alignment and phases of the moons.  Stronger variable tides occur on a regular cycle however the opposing position of Nehush and Xalaphera and the constant state of Koia does provide some stabilizing effect.</p><p>The most dramatic tidal rise occurs when Nehush and Xalaphera align with Uripan. While this event does result in coastal innundation and flooding it also amplifes coastal upwelling, contributing to nutrient-rich zones as well as significant sediment transport leading to formation of fjords, barrier islands, tidal flats and other erosion features.</p><p></p><p>*Working on lunar calendar for the four moons next- fun<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></p><h3></h3></blockquote><p></p>
