a) Figure A (below) shows a bird's eye view of a coastline in the northern hemisphere. The wind barb shows the direction of wind blowing parallel to the coast. In Figure A, draw and label an arrow showing the direction of movement of the surface current (i.e., the layer in contact with the wind). Label or notate the value of the angle relative to the wind direction.

Question
a) Figure A (below) shows a bird's eye view of a coastline in the northern hemisphere. The wind barb shows the direction of wind blowing parallel to the coast. In Figure A, draw and label an arrow showing the direction of movement of the surface current (i.e., the layer in contact with the wind). Label or notate the value of the angle relative to the wind direction. b) Draw and label a BLOCK ARROW in Figure A showing the net Ekman transport of water. Label or notate the value of the angle. c) Figure B (below) shows a cross-section of the same coast that is depicted in Figure A. Draw an arrow in Figure B depicting the vertical flow of water created by Ekman transport from Figure A. biological productivity along the coast. HIGH d) This flow pattern results in relatively LOW Figure A Ocean Coast North Figure B Ocean Coast
