The 24 pages that link to Ekman transport, each with the reason it gives.

• Coriolis effectRelated: It connects rotational deflection to wind-driven movement of ocean water.

• Southern OceanRelated: Wind-driven surface transport helps draw deep water toward the surface around Antarctica.

• Atlantic meridional overturning circulationRelated: Wind-driven Ekman transport contributes to water convergence and downwelling in the subpolar Atlantic.

• Antarctic Circumpolar CurrentRelated: Wind-driven Ekman transport helps create the northward and southward flow that balances the current.

• Ocean circulationRelated: It explains how winds move surface water away from or toward regions of divergence.

• UpwellingRelated: It moves surface water offshore in coastal upwelling systems, allowing deeper water to rise.

• Ocean currentRelated: Explains why wind-driven surface currents move at an angle to the wind.

• Coriolis forceRelated: Coriolis deflection turns ocean currents with depth and shifts their net transport.

• Ocean gyreRelated: Wind-driven surface transport helps push water toward the centers of subtropical gyres.

• OceanographyRelated: Explains how winds drive surface currents and coastal upwelling.

• Gulf StreamRelated: Wind-driven Ekman transport piles water into the subtropical gyre, helping drive its circulation.

• Coastal upwellingRelated: In many coastal systems, it moves surface water offshore and allows deeper water to rise.

• Ocean heat transportRelated: Wind-driven surface transport helps set the pathways along which ocean heat moves.

• Drake PassageRelated: Wind-driven transport contributes to the divergence and upwelling of water in the Southern Ocean.

• Benguela CurrentRelated: It carries surface water offshore when prevailing winds blow along the Benguela coast.

• Humboldt CurrentRelated: It helps explain how winds displace surface water and sustain coastal upwelling.

• California CurrentRelated: It carries surface water offshore, helping produce upwelling along the California coast.

• Physical oceanographyRelated: Wind-driven surface transport helps explain upwelling and the ocean’s circulation.

• Southern Ocean overturning circulationRelated: Westerly winds drive northward surface transport that helps induce deep-water upwelling.

• Great Pacific Garbage PatchRelated: Wind-driven transport helps move floating material toward the gyre's convergence zone.

• Chilean SeaRelated: It helps move surface water offshore, enabling coastal upwelling.

• Ocean surface topographyRelated: Wind-driven transport piles water up or draws it away, changing local surface height.
