What Does EBC Stand For?
EBC stands for Eastern Boundary Current
The Eastern Boundary Current (EBC) refers to a significant oceanic current located along the eastern edges of ocean basins, typically characterized by its cold, nutrient-rich waters. These currents flow from polar or temperate regions toward the equator and play a crucial role in marine ecosystems by supporting high biological productivity. The EBC is essential for regulating climate patterns, influencing weather phenomena, and facilitating the movement of marine species. Examples include the California Current, Canary Current, and Benguela Current, each of which affects local fisheries and the broader oceanic environment.
