The main surface currents represented in Fig.1 are the large scale, wind driven currents which Sverdrup and Stommel, among others pioneers, have tried to understand. The first models of the wind-forced ocean circulation that they built were two-dimensional, used the simplified quasigeostrophic equations, and the western boundary currents were viscous boundary layers.
