What drives surface currents

Winds drive currents near coastal areas on a localized scale, and in the open ocean on a global scale. A third factor that drives currents is thermohaline circulation - a process driven by density differences in water due to temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline) in different parts of the ocean.
