Current measurements indicate that there is a semi-permanent countercurrent below the Norwegian coastal current in Skagerrak. Comparison with local windstress, earlier findings from laboratory experiments and model simulations indicates that the Coriolis force, horizontal pressure gradients and vertical entrainment by the surface current may be the driving forces of this countercurrent, while the windstress is a modifying factor.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
