Surface Drift is a geophysical phenomenon denoting the net movement of surface ocean water induced by wind stress and modified by the Coriolis effect, distinguished from deeper current systems by its direct responsiveness to atmospheric forcing and its role in the upper-layer transport of heat, nutrients, and marine debris.
