The Lomonosov Current is a major oceanic current located in the Arctic region. It flows along the continental slope of the Siberian Arctic, primarily in the Arctic Ocean. Named after the Russian scientist Mikhail Lomonosov, the current is characterized by its flow from west to east along the North Siberian coast. The Lomonosov Current plays an essential role in the Arctic Ocean's circulation, interaction with sea ice, and distribution of heat and nutrients.
