The westward intensification of wind-driven ocean currents

evidence

Variation of the Coriolis parameter with latitude — the beta effect — crowds the return flow of a wind-driven gyre into a narrow, intense western boundary current; with a constant Coriolis parameter the circulation is symmetric. Located by citation and described from teaching notes and commemorative accounts; the 1948 paper was not fetched.

A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
