Meridional Current Structure

Meridional Current Structure is a theoretical construct in equatorial circulation science that characterizes the latitudinal distribution and vertical organization of oceanic flow components oriented along the north-south axis, distinguishing it from zonal or rotational current patterns by its alignment with the meridional coordinate and its role in transporting mass, heat, and momentum across the equatorial band.
