Ocean current with dynamics determined by the presence of a coastline
The main ocean currents involved with the North Pacific Gyre
Boundary currents are ocean currents with dynamics determined by the presence of a coastline, and fall into two distinct categories: western boundary currents and eastern boundary currents.
