CSE 2022: Plan/ Strategy/ Daily Routine

This is an everything thread for all stuff 2022. You can post your daily goals, end-of-the-day updates, weekly targets or any weird thing you use to measure your progress. You can put into words & post the soul-sucking sadness that is threatening to devour you & your productivity. You can write what made your day & let others experience the happiness too, at least vicariously. This is a thread to pick each other up. This is a thread to keep each other accountable. This is a no-judgement zone.

--------

“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

@DM In my limited knowledge, stick to latest NCERT version, no matter what the world says. I just checked in recent NCERT, it is mentioned"NNP at factor cost as National Income". UPSC will stick to it 99.99%. I am not strong in economy, but NCERT never went wrong as far as UPSC is concerned.

Now calculating on nnp at market price

Since 2015, GDP at market prices is being used as measure of income instead of GDP at factor cost. This is what Vivek Singh's book refers to. 

However, the term national income simply means income earned by factors of production( ie. land, labour etc.). So you have to subtract indirect taxes which are a part of GDP/NNP at market prices since those go to the Govt and not to the factors of production. 

Therefore, NI = NNP(market price) - indirect taxes + subsidies 

Or, NI = NNP at factor cost

What explains the eastward flow of the equatorial counter current ?  (2015)

(a) The Earth's rotation on its axis

(b) Convergence of the two equatorial currents

(c) Difference in salinity of water

(d) Occurrence of the belt of calm near the equator

UPSC has given answer as b. But how can resultant of Convergence of the two equatorial currents be exactly opposite to both.

(a) The Earth's rotation on its axis

(b) Convergence of the two equatorial currents

(c) Difference in salinity of water

(d) Occurrence of the belt of calm near the equator

UPSC has given answer as b. But how can resultant of Convergence of the two equatorial currents be exactly opposite to both. 

The equatorial countercurrents are driven by a distinct surface wind pattern in the tropics.

Strong westward trade winds result in westward surface flow in most of the tropical Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

However, several hundred mi. (km.) north of the equator, the winds are much weaker, in comparison

The stronger winds to the south pile up water where the winds are weak.

As a result, the surface of the ocean can be up to 6 in. (15 cm.) higher and the thermocline as much as 328 ft. (100 m.) deeper than it is directly to the north.

The excess water flows eastward under the influence of the Earth’s rotation, giving rise to the equatorial countercurrents.

 In the Indian Ocean, the equatorial countercurrent is located several hundred mi. (km.) south of the equator.

In all three oceans, the equatorial countercurrent is concentrated in the upper 656 ft. (200 m.), above the thermocline.

The intensity of the equatorial countercurrent varies from season to season and from month to month.

The strongest seasonal changes occur in the Atlantic Ocean.

Eastward flow reaches a maximum in the summer and fall, with speeds of up to 12 in. (30 cm.) per second, and disappears in the spring.

Seasonal changes are weaker in the Pacific Ocean. Here, the equatorial countercurrent exists year-round, and is strongest in the fall and winter, with speeds slightly.

ok, so primary reason is convergence and secondary reason is rotation?

This is something that is better understood via pictures rather than words. 

Normally the equatorial current flows westward because that's the direction of the trade winds. 

Once it reaches the continental margins on the western side, most of the water diverts towards the pole eventually to form the normal ocean currents. 

However some of the water piles up due to convergence of equatorial currents at the western margins. It is then ''pushed back''. It comes back through the middle of the two westward currents, forming the equatorial countercurrent (drawn in green below) 

It's called the counter current because it flows counter to the normal currents. 

Hence the Eastward flow is due to the convergence of the two equatorial currents

So far so good.

Targets for May 25 (86) - jkas prelims (9/40) - maps, geog from lucent, miscellaneous, newspaper, pranayama, exercise

Good luck dostoen, lots of love : )

Past two days had been good. Feeling like back in groove. Will carry on the momentum.
