Examination of the drifter velocities reveals that the surface currents become strongly wind- and wave-driven during periods of high wind, with the pre-existing ...

Vertical structure of ocean surface currents under high winds from ...

Very-near-surface ocean currents are dominated by wind and wave forcing and have large impacts on the transport of buoyant materials in the ocean. Surface ...

Winds and surface currents - UHSLC

Although the ocean circulation results from the highly nonlinear response of the ocean to the fluxes of momentum and buoyancy through the sea surface, it is the ...

On the Vertical Structure of Wind-Driven Sea Currents in

Abstract The vertical structure of wind-driven sea surface currents and the role of wind-wave breaking in its formation are investigated by means of both ...

Wind Driven Surface Currents - Upwelling and Downwelling

Coastal upwelling occurs where Ekman transport moves surface waters away from the coast; surface waters are replaced by water that wells up from below.

Ocean currents

Similar to a person trying to walk in a straight line across a spinning merry-go-round, winds and ocean waters get deflected from a straight ...

Ocean Structure and Circulation

Horizontal global ocean circulation is driven by wind stress at the ocean surface, but vertical mixing is largely due to the thermohaline circulation. A nice ...

Ocean Currents and Climate - National Geographic Education

Surface ocean currents can occur on local and global scales and are typically wind-driven, resulting in horizontal and vertical water movement.

Vertical structures of marine heatwaves | Nature Communications

The surface warming associated with MHWs can penetrate into the deep ocean; however, the vertical structure of MHWs is poorly known in the ...

Ocean Surface Currents | manoa.hawaii.edu/ExploringOurFluidEarth

Wind-produced ocean currents move at an angle to the direction of the wind. The rotational motion of the earth influences ocean currents.
