Définition

  • WIND-DRIVEN CIRCULATION (WDC) refers to ocean currents initiated and propelled by winds blowing across the surface of the ocean. Wind-driven circulation is part of the complex system of energy and heat redistribution that helps to draw tropical heat away from equatorial regions to moderate the earths climate.Wind GenerationWind is caused by the uneven solar heating of the Earths surface, which creates areas of high and low atmospheric pressure.
