Variational formulation of the Ekman ocean

At the end of the nineteenth century during the expedition on board Fram, Fridtjof Nansen noticed that icebergs had a tendency to drift to the right of the wind direction. Vagn Walfrid Ekman was the first to mathematically assign this veering to the Coriolis effect and in 1905 presented a model for...
