Equatorial Current System

Equatorial Current System is a large-scale oceanic circulation pattern constituting a fundamental component of tropical ocean dynamics, distinguished by its zonally oriented, wind-driven surface currents located near the equator and organized into coherent eastward and westward flowing limbs under the influence of the Coriolis effect and trade wind forcing.
