Geostrophic Circulation

Geostrophic Circulation is a theoretical construct in large-scale ocean circulation that describes a steady, horizontal flow of seawater in which the Coriolis force balances the horizontal pressure gradient force, arising from density variations and enabling the inference of ocean currents from hydrographic data.
