Upwelling Bays: How Coastal Upwelling Controls Circulation, Habitat, and Productivity in Bays

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2020
Bays in coastal upwelling regions are physically driven and biochemically fueled by their interaction with open coastal waters. Wind-driven flow over the shelf imposes a circulation in the bay, which is also influenced by local wind stress and thermal bay–ocean density differences.

A documentary proxy for coastal upwelling

2023
Coastal upwelling is a process in which sea water from intermediate depths emerges along the west coast of continents in response to the intensity of the alongshore component of the wind. These areas are economically relevant as upwelled water is rich in nutrients, creating regions of great interest for fisheries.Quantifying upwelling intensity at ...

Upwelling age: an indicator of local tendency for coastal upwelling

Journal of Oceanography, 2011
A proxy named “upwelling age”, defined as the ratio of wind time scale to “advection time”, was developed to quantify the local tendency for coastal upwelling. The formulation of the “advection time” was derived from Ekman theory. A 3D numerical model was used to validate and refine the theoretical formula by simulating a total of 30 cases of different

A Cyclesonde View of Coastal Upwelling

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1976
Abstract In August 1973, 320 vertical profiles of temperature and horizontal velocity were recorded during a 64 h period by an array of three Cyclesondes in the coastal upwelling region off Oregon. The mean interior along-shore velocity was geostrophic and a linear function of density, with a near-surface, equatorward jet at mid-shelf, and a poleward ...

A Numerical Model of Coastal Upwelling

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1972
Abstract A wind-driven model of coastal upwelling induced into a stratified, rotating ocean is solved numerically. The circulation is on an f plane and longshore variations are neglected. A multilevel model is derived, but only solutions for a two-layer model are discussed. A longshore baroclinic surface jet is discovered.

Note on Diffusion in Coastal Upwelling

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1973
Abstract It is known from recent theoretical studies on coastal upwelling that in the linear model a finite depth of the upwelling regime can only be obtained when turbulent diffusion is included. In this note it is shown that, although a consistent solution is possible when only vertical diffusion is considered, the type of the solution depends ...
