Western Boundary Ocean Currents (WBOC) are key players in the life cycle of our Ocean. A WBOC like the the North Brazil Current is an example of a strong surface current with speeds that can reach 2 m/s. The current carries high nutrient waters from the Amazon Delta into the nutrient-scarce waters of the Tropical Atlantic. Other ocean planets must have WBOC but, what are the speeds of these currents in other ocean exoplanets? The following paper answer this question. oceanphysics.weebly/uploads/1/1/9/5/11950137/ocean_boundary_currents_in_habitable_exoplanets.pdf
