- 11. 1: Sverdrups Theory of the Ocean Circulation
To derive the relationship, Sverdrup assumed that the flow is stationary, that lateral friction and molecular viscosity are small, that non-linear terms such as u ∂ u ∂ x are small, and that turbulence near the sea surface can be described using a vertical eddy viscosity

Sverdrup transport is equatorward in subtropical regions of Ekman pumping and poleward in subpolar regions of Ekman suction While the direction of Sverdrup flow (equatorward or poleward) is dictated by the Ekman pumping, the flow itself is geostrophic
