Subsurface current

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009354

A flow of water occurring beneath the ocean's surface, distinct from surface currents driven by wind. These currents are influenced by density differences, topography, and the Earth's rotation. Examples include deep ocean currents like the North Atlantic Deep Water, which transports heat and nutrients globally.
