Domain-specific¶
- Divergence Zone
- Coastal upwelling (oceanography / marine ecology) — the canonical case: equatorward winds drive surface water offshore by Ekman transport, and cold, nutrient-rich water rising from 50–200 m fills the deficit, supporting the Humboldt, Benguela, and California fisheries. Equatorial divergence — trade winds driving Ekman transport away from the equator in both hemispheres create a surface divergence whose replacement shoals the thermocline, sustaining high equatorial productivity. Atmospheric surface divergence — under subtropical high-pressure zones, diverging surface air is compensated by descending air drawn from above, the Ekman-divergence formulation ported almost unchanged from ocean to atmosphere
This sourceDevelops the Ekman boundary layer and Ekman pumping/suction in a single formalism for both the ocean and the atmosphere, which is exactly the claim of portability.

- Ekman Transport
- The magnitude of the transport is τ/(ρf), where τ is the wind stress, ρ is seawater density, and f is the Coriolis parameter, giving units of volume transport per unit length of coast (m²/s)
This sourceThe depth-integrated Ekman mass transport driven by wind stress and set by the Coriolis parameter, directed at right angles to the wind. The Ekman mass transport as the depth-integrated flux set by wind stress and the Coriolis parameter and directed at right angles to the wind.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
