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.
