The velocity given by this phenomenon is the product of boundary constant B, the exponential of negative gamma z, and the exponential of negative i gamma z, where z is (*) depth, though depth-independent geostrophic velocity is often added to its vector velocities due to a horizontal pressure gradient.
Price et al. demonstrated the existence of this phenomenon using the specially designed R/V Flip, and Kenneth Hunkins was the first to report its observation during work on the AIDJEX project.

Commonly measured under pack ice and plotted on a hodograph, it is produced by balancing wind stress with the depth-integrated Coriolis force, causing a left deflection in the southern hemisphere and a right deflection in the northern. For 10 points, name this flow pattern consisting of a downward cycling of successive current velocity vectors in the ocean, the key to its namesake transport, named for a Swedish physicist.
