Subtropical Convergence

Subtropical Convergence is a large-scale oceanic surface phenomenon characterized by the gradual sinking of water masses due to the convergence of wind-driven Ekman transport in subtropical gyres, distinguishing it from other convergence zones by its location at approximately 20°–30° latitude and its role in initiating subtropical mode water formation.
