Ekman Balance

Ekman Balance is a dynamical equilibrium in geophysical fluid dynamics, within the broader context of geostrophic balance, that describes the balance between the viscous frictional forces, the Coriolis force, and the horizontal pressure gradient in the planetary boundary layer, specifically accounting for turbulent drag effects in the Ekman layer.
