Additional insight about the latitude–sinuosity relationship can be gained if we look at the nine systems that we have analyzed for the present study. Plotting sinuosity against latitude (Fig. \ref{978363}) shows no clear trend, not even for the peak sinuosities. High-sinuosity bends are present in the Nile, Danube, and Knight Inlet channels, despite the fact that these channels are all located at latitudes where the influence of the Coriolis force should be stronger. Similarly, low-sinuosity systems like the NAMOC are not restricted to high latitudes; the Tanzania Channel \citep{Bourget_2008} is located at latitudes similar to those of the highly sinuous Zaire Channel.
