Ekman transport along the Galician coast (northwest Spain) calculated from forecasted winds

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2006
Ekman transport is studied close to the Galician coast by means of forecasted winds provided by METEOGALICIA from November 2001 to October 2004. Three different coastal zones are identified: western coast from Miño River to Cape Finisterre, middle coast from Cape Finisterre to Cape Ortegal and northern coast, from Cape Ortegal to Cape Peñas.

Ekman Transport and Zooplankton Concentration in the North Pacific Ocean

Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, 1967
Annual concentrations of zooplankton off California varied directly, and concentrations in the western Bering Sea varied indirectly with calculated southerly components of Ekman transport in the previous year at 50°N,140°W. This point is in the area in which surface subarctic water and the deeper currents divide north and south.

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 ...

Pollutant Dispersion in the Ekman Layer Using Moment-Reduced Transport Equations

1983
The program MODIS (Moment Distribution) is designed to extend the Gaussian plume model up to the range of about 102 km. Numerical experiments with stationary solutions are reported to show reliability and accuracy (essentially dependent on the grid Peclet number) of the results. The influence of the Coriolis force on the ground centre line of the plume

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 ...

The Balance of Geostrophic and Ekman Transports in the Tropical Atlantic Ocean

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1983
Abstract Hydrographic station data from 24°N, 8°N, 8°S and 24°S in the Atlantic Ocean are used to calculate geostrophic transport in eight layers separated by isopycnal surfaces. In the upper ocean, the geostrophic transport is strongly northward across 8°S and strongly southward across 8°N resulting in a geostrophic convergence of ∼25 × 106 m2 s−1 in ...
