Wind-driven currents are found NEAR THE SURFACE of the oceans
Explanation:
Surface currents are at the interphase between the hydrosphere and atmosphere. Therefore the feel the greatest effect of drag by wind currents, especially prevailing winds (that blow predominantly in one direction like westerlies and easterlies) within the lower atmosphere. The deep currents, on the other hand, are more influenced by Coriolis effect of the earth’s rotation. It is these differences in influences of surface and deeper currents that cause Ekman transport in oceans.
