Current Vorticity

Current Vorticity is a geophysical fluid dynamics metric that quantifies the local rotation rate of a surface current element relative to its surrounding flow field, distinguishing it from broader circulation patterns by its focus on pointwise rotational motion in horizontal oceanic flows.
