How is wind driven ekman transport related to coastal upwelling and downwelling?
They are both wind driven, if the Ekman Transport is moving in towrds the shore then downwelling will pull water from it and move it down and out. While when the Ekman Transport is moving out away from shore up welling will pull water up and feed the Transport. Note all directions are based on 90 degrees to the left or right fo the wind direction depending on wich Hemisphere.
What is ekman upwelling?
The process known as Ekman transport is caused by right-angle winds along a shoreline. The surface water is replaced by deep, colder water from offshore.
Which type of flow works in opposition to Ekman transport in a gyre?
Gravity driven circulation
What are the components of a coastal circulation cell?
The components of a coastal circulation cell include the alongshore current, the offshore current (also known as the coastward current), and the Ekman transport. The alongshore current flows parallel to the coastline, driven by factors such as waves, tides, and wind. The offshore current flows away from the coast due to the net transport of water caused by the alongshore current. The Ekman transport, a balance between wind stress and Coriolis effect, determines the net movement of water perpendicular to the coastline.
How does active transport differ from passive transport-?
Active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.

What are Ekman transport?
its the net movement of water as a result of Ekman spiral; in the northen hemisphere, 90 degrees to the right of the wind direction; in the southern hemisphere 90 degrees to the left of the wind direction
