most powerful surface ocean current in the world, which rotates clockwise around the continent of Antarctica. Also called the West Wind Drift.

Also called west wind drift, the ocean current with the largest volume transport (approximately 110 x 10[s] m[s]/sec), and the swiftest current; it flows from west to east through all the oceans aroun [..]

the world's largest and strongest ocean current, which moves eastwards around Antarctica and links with other major ocean currents'

A cold current encircling the Antarctic, driven by westerly winds between 40° and 70° S. Because the flow of this current is not checked by the continents, it links the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific O [..]

Also called the ‘West Wind Drift’ because it is driven by powerful westerly winds north of Antarctica. This current continues eastward encircling Antarctica without changing direction. It is the largest volume current in all the oceans.

Same as West Wind Drift.

The Earth’s rotation and the prevailing Antarctic weather conditions have acted ever since Antarctica split completely from the other Gondwana continents to produce a current flowing around Antarctica from west to east. This current is known as the "great ocean conveyor", because it connects the three great southern hemisphere oce [..]
