Wind-Driven Ocean Currents and Ekman Transport

Science, 1987
Oceanographers have long sought to verify the theoretical Ekman transport relation, which predicts that a steady wind stress acting together with the Coriolis force will produce a transport of water to the right of the wind. In situ measurements of wind and ocean currents provide a detailed view of this phenomenon. By separating the wind-driven current

Role of Ekman transport versus Ekman pumping in driving summer upwelling in the South China Sea

Journal of Ocean University of China, 2013
Relative roles of Ekman transport and Ekman pumping in driving summer upwelling in the South China Sea (SCS) are examined using QuikSCAT scatterometer wind data. The major upwelling regions in the SCS are the coastal regions east and southeast of Vietnam (UESEV), east and southeast of Hainan Island (UESEH), and southeast of Guangdong province (USEG ...

The effect of Stokes drift on Ekman transport in the open sea

Acta Oceanologica Sinica, 2012
By introducing the wave-induced Coriolis-Stokes forcing into ageostrophic motion equation, the Eulerian transport is modified by the wave-induced Stokes drift. The long-term mean contributions of the Stokes transport with remotely generated swells being included to the ageostrophic transport are analyzed using the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium ...

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide transport in the Southern Ocean driven by Ekman flow

Nature, 2010
The Southern Ocean, with its large surface area and vigorous overturning circulation, is potentially a substantial sink of anthropogenic CO(2) (refs 1-4). Despite its importance, the mechanism and pathways of anthropogenic CO(2) uptake and transport are poorly understood.

A 2.5D model for sand transport in a shallow sea: effect of Ekman veering

Continental Shelf Research, 2004
Abstract A process-based sediment transport model is presented that combines the knowledge of sediment transport in rivers and estuaries with the understanding of physical processes specific for the shelf seas. Due to formation of bottom Ekman spiral, the near-bottom current and hence the sediment transport deviate from the direction of surface ...

Ekman heat transport for slab oceans

Climate Dynamics, 2011
A series of schemes designed to include various representations of the Ekman-driven heat fluxes in slab-ocean models is introduced. They work by computing an Ekman mass flux, then deducing heat fluxes by the surface flow and an opposite deep return flow. The schemes differ by the computation of the return flow temperature: either diagnosed from the SST

Meridional Ekman Heat Transport: Estimates from Satellite Data

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1995
Abstract Analyses of satellite-derived SSM/I winds and AVHRR sea surface temperatures are used to compute weekly estimates of global meridional ocean Ekman heat transport for the 4-year period 1987–1991. The heat transport is consistently poleward throughout the year over the Atlantic and much of the Pacific between 30°S and 30°N and equatorward at ...

The transport in the Ekman surface layer on the spherical Earth

Journal of Marine Research, 2002
The modification of the transport in the Ekman layer on the f-plane due to the Coriolis parameter’s variation with latitude and the curvature of Earth’s surface is analyzed by considering the temporal changes in the angular momentum. The latter plays the role of a dynamical variable of the model, replacing the zonal velocity component, and drag is ...
