Indian Ocean Study Reveals Bay of Bengal Defies Ekman’s Wind-Driven Current Theory

A study published in Science Advances has discovered that ocean currents in the Bay of Bengal deviate leftward, contrary to Ekman’s century-old theory. This anomaly, revealed through multi-year buoy data, suggests local factors influence wind-driven surface currents. Researchers highlight implications for climate models and propose a satellite system to monitor such…
