Oceanography

Ekman spiral

Profile diagram of the Ekman spiral as a vertical stack of blue water-flow arrows descending from the ocean surface. The top arrow is the longest and nearly horizontal; each deeper arrow is progressively shorter, rotated farther clockwise or to the right relative to the one above, and together they form a spiral-like sequence through the water column. Arrows may be slightly curved or tapered, with subtle darkening or fading with depth to emphasize decreasing current speed downward.
