Ekman Spiral is a theoretical model of the vertical structure of ocean current velocity in the upper ocean layer, characterized by a progressive rotation and decrease in speed with depth due to the balance between the Coriolis force and turbulent drag, resulting in a spiral profile that describes the wind-driven adjustment of momentum transfer within the Ekman layer.
