Wind-Driven Ocean Currents and Ekman Transport
Science, 1987Oceanographers 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

Meridional Ekman Heat Transport: Estimates from Satellite Data
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1995Abstract 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 ...

Role of Ekman transport versus Ekman pumping in driving summer upwelling in the South China Sea
Journal of Ocean University of China, 2013Relative 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 ...

Ekman heat transport for slab oceans
Climate Dynamics, 2011A 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

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide transport in the Southern Ocean driven by Ekman flow
Nature, 2010The 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.

Ekman transport along the Galician Coast (NW, Spain) calculated from QuikSCAT winds
Journal of Marine Systems, 2008Abstract Ekman transport is studied close to the Galician coast by means of wind data provided by the QuikSCAT satellite from November 1999 to October 2005. Three different coastal zones are identified, western coast from Mino River to Cape Finisterre, middle coast from Cape Finisterre to Cape Ortegal and northern coast, from Cape Ortegal to Cape ...

Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) recruitment variability and Ekman transport of larvae
2023Commercial stocks of the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) fluctuate widely along the Pacific coast of the United States. Previous attempts to explain this variability have focused on the pelagic larval phase and the environmental factors that may affect survival and dispersal of this stage. However, these efforts have been largely unsuccessful because,
