Boundary Current Separation

Boundary Current Separation is a geophysical fluid dynamics phenomenon in which a western boundary current detaches from the continental margin due to a local imbalance between pressure gradient and Coriolis forces, marking the transition from a boundary-trapped flow to an offshore, freely propagating jet in large-scale ocean circulation.
