In oceanography, the sverdrup (symbol: Sv) is a non-SI metric unit of volumetric flow rate, with equal to , or equivalently 1 cubic hectometer per second (symbol: hm3/s or hm3⋅s−1). It is used almost exclusively in oceanography to measure the volumetric rate of transport of ocean currents. It is named after Harald Sverdrup.

In oceanography, the sverdrup (symbol: Sv) is a non-SI metric unit of volumetric flow rate, with equal to , or equivalently 1 cubic hectometer per second (symbol: hm3/s or hm3⋅s−1). It is used almost exclusively in oceanography to measure the volumetric rate of transport of ocean currents. It is named after Harald Sverdrup.
One sverdrup is about five times what is carried at the estuary by the world's largest river, the Amazon. In the context of ocean currents, a volume of one million cubic meters may be imagined as a "slice" of ocean with dimensions × × (width × length × thickness) or a cube with dimensions × × . At this scale, these units can be more easily compared in terms of width of the current (several km), depth (hundreds of meters), and current speed (as meters per second). Thus, a hypothetical current wide, (m) deep, and moving at would be transporting of water.
