Wind-driven Surface Transport

Wind-Driven Surface Transport is a geophysical fluid dynamics process that constitutes the net movement of surface ocean water in the uppermost layer of the ocean, distinguished by its direct response to wind stress and adherence to Ekman theory, in which the resultant transport occurs at a 90° angle relative to the direction of the prevailing wind due to the Coriolis effect.
