Western Boundary Intensification | Ocean currents
Ocean gyres are shifted to the west. This shift causes the currents on the western side of the basins to be more concentrated than those on the eastern side. This concentration of flow along the western edge of our oceans is called Western boundary intensification. They occur in all of the major ocean basins. The cause of western boundary intensification is the way Coriolis deflection changes with latitude.
