The Ekman spiral is an arrangement of ocean currents: the directions of horizontal current appear to twist as the depth changes. The oceanic wind driven...

This phenomenon is called the Ekman spiral. The Ekman transport can be obtained from vertically integrating the Ekman balance, giving: U E = τ y f ρ...
