Wind-driven Gyres

Wind-Driven Gyres is a large-scale ocean circulation system classified as a wind-driven circulation pattern, distinguished by its closed, rotating flow structure in ocean basins that is directly generated by the prevailing patterns of surface wind stress and balanced by the Coriolis effect and lateral friction.
