equatorial current
Equatorial currents are oceanic currents that flow along the equator of the earth, from east to west, in both the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans. They are primarily driven by the trade winds and are typically warm currents. These currents also play an integral role in the circulation of heat in the world’s oceans, impacting global climate patterns. The intensity and direction of these currents can also be affected by events such as El Niño and La Niña.
