North Equatorial Current

From Freepedia

The North Equatorial Current is a significant Pacific and Atlantic Ocean current that flows east-to-west between the equator and 10° north. It's caused by the rotation of the Earth towards the east, the resulting westerly current brought about by the relative motion of the water with respect to the earth.
