... the wind energy is passed through the water column from the surface down, with each successive layer being deflected more to the right and having a lower velocity than the layer above.

The depth at which motion ceases is called the Depth of Frictional Influence (usually this is about 100 m). 2, record 1, English, - depth%20of%20frictional%20influence
