An ocean current that flows from east to west in the equatorial waters north of about 20° south latitude. This current is generated by the southeasterly trade winds, and its northern boundary is at about 3° north latitude, crossing the equator, because the trade wind belt is somewhat asymmetrical with respect to the equator. Directly below this current flows the eastward equatorial undercurrent.

南緯約 20°以北の赤道海域を東から西へ流れる海流。南東貿易風によって生じる海流で,北の境界は赤道を越えて北緯3°付近にあるが,これは貿易風帯が赤道に対してやや非対称的であることに起因する。この海流の真下に東向き赤道潜流が流れている。 (→インド洋南赤道海流 , 大西洋南赤道海流 , 太平洋南赤道海流 )
