Wind-driven Coastal Circulation

Wind-Driven Coastal Circulation is a coastal circulation pattern, distinguished from other such patterns by its primary generation through the direct action of wind stress on the ocean surface along continental margins, resulting in spatially organized flow structures such as coastal upwelling, downwelling, and alongshore currents.
