Brief Explanations

The Coriolis effect causes ocean gyres in the northern hemisphere to circulate clockwise and in the southern hemisphere to circulate counterclockwise (or anticlockwise). So the first blank (northern hemisphere gyres) should be "clockwise" and the second blank (southern hemisphere gyres) should be "counterclockwise" (or "anticlockwise").

Second blank: counterclockwise (or anticlockwise)
