-
A.
Ekman layer
chosen
The Ekman layer is the thin region of fluid near a boundary (such as the ocean surface or seafloor) where the balance between friction and the Coriolis effect causes the flow to spiral with depth.
-
B.
Ekman transport
Ekman transport is an oceanographic process in which wind-driven surface waters move at an angle to the wind direction due to the Coriolis effect, causing net water transport perpendicular to the wind.
-
C.
Coriolis effect
The Coriolis effect is the apparent deflection of moving objects caused by Earth's rotation, strongly influencing global wind patterns and ocean currents.
-
D.
Saffman
Saffman is a surname most notably associated with Philip G. Saffman, a prominent British-American applied mathematician and fluid dynamicist.
-
E.
Bjerknes compensation
Bjerknes compensation is a climate science concept describing how changes in ocean heat transport tend to be offset by opposite changes in atmospheric heat transport, helping stabilize the total poleward energy flux.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
