Ekman pumping

The mechanism by which the effects of boundary layer momentum fluxes are communicated directly to the neighboring (essentially inviscid) fluid. The mechanism involves a forced secondary circulation referred to as Ekman pumping or Ekman suction, depending on its sign. The effect is important in both the atmosphere and the ocean.
