Wind-driven Shelf Circulation

Wind-Driven Shelf Circulation is a large-scale oceanographic circulation pattern on the continental shelf in which the primary driving force is the tangential stress exerted by wind on the sea surface, distinguished by its confinement to shallow, coastal regions and its dynamical balance involving wind forcing, Coriolis effect, and bottom friction.
