Wind-driven Equatorial Circulation

Wind-Driven Equatorial Circulation is a theoretical framework within equatorial oceanography that describes the large-scale, wind-forced movement of surface and subsurface waters along the equatorial band, distinguished by its dependence on zonal wind stress and the resulting dynamical balance involving the Coriolis effect and pressure gradients.
