One of his observations was that the ice was not moving in the same direction as the wind. It was moving consistently to the right of the wind direction. This phenomenon would later become known as Ekman transport. As wind blows across the ocean, it moves water because of friction at the ocean surface.
If the wind blows parallel to the coast in the northern hemisphere (such as the coast of California, where the wind blows South), then Ekman transport can produce a net movement of surface water 90Â° to the right. This may result in coastal upwelling. If the wind blows parallel to the coast in the northern hemisphere (such as the coast of California, where the wind blows South), then Ekman transport can produce a net movement of surface water 90Â° to the right.
