[The] frictional stress at the surface between two fluids[,] atmosphere and ocean[,] or between a fluid and the adjacent solid surface[,] the Earth's surface[,] that forces a circulation. 2, record 1, English, - Ekman%20pumping

When the ... mass transport is converging, mass conservation requires a vertical flow away from the surface. This is called Ekman pumping. The opposite effect, in case of divergence, is called Ekman suction. The effect is important in both the atmosphere and the ocean. 2, record 1, English, - Ekman%20pumping

Lorsque le transport de masse [...] est convergent, le principe de conservation de la masse nécessite un écoulement vertical à partir de la surface. Cet effet est appelé pompage d'Ekman. L'effet opposé, en cas de divergence, est appelé succion d'Ekman. Cet effet est observé aussi bien dans l'atmosphère que dans l'océan. 2, record 1, French, - pompage%20d%27Ekman

Cuando el transporte de masa resultante converge, debido a la conservación de masa se genera un flujo vertical con origen en la superficie. Este fenómeno se denomina bombeo Ekman. El efecto contrario, en situaciones de divergencia, se denomina succión Ekman. Este efecto es importante tanto en la atmósfera como en el océano. 1, record 1, Spanish, - bombeo%20Ekman
