Wind-driven Ocean Circulation

Wind-Driven Ocean Circulation is a large-scale ocean circulation pattern belonging to the class of physical oceanographic processes, distinguished by its generation through the transfer of momentum from atmospheric winds to the ocean surface via wind stress, thereby driving surface currents and influencing subsurface flow through Ekman transport and geostrophic adjustments.
