The Functioning of Coastal Upwelling Systems
2016This chapter describes the general physics driving coastal upwelling, various upwelling mechanisms and indicators (e.g. upwelling index), the ecological response to coastal upwelling events, the location of significant upwelling regions, their general biogeochemistry, and various hypotheses for the high abundance of anchovies and sardines in coastal ...

Coastal upwelling prediction with a mixture of neural networks
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 1998For the analysis and prediction of coastal upwelling in a study region off the northwest African coast, artificial neural networks are applied to wind data and remotely sensed sea surface temperature (SST) data. The coastal upwelling phenomenon is seen as an input-output system, built by the dependence between local wind events as input and upwelling ...

Steady wind parallel to the coast generates upwelling and the influence of the spatial structure of the wind or the coastal indentattions must be taken into account in the determination of the lifting of the thermocline. A shallow water model is used to display the response of the ocean around a cape. The response to steady wind forcing is described in

The Peruvian Coastal Upwelling System
2001The Peruvian coastal upwelling ecosystem is part of an upwelling area that extends between 4°S and about 40°S along the western coast of South America (Guillen 1983), with high productivity originating from equatorial upwelling south of the Galapagos Islands.

Coastal upwelling and coastal jets in continuously stratified seas
Chinese Journal of Oceanology and Limnology, 1987Nonlinear numerical models of continuously stratified seas are developed for vertical sections to study the mechanism of coastal upwelling and coastal jets in two kinds of seas: the so-called finite or closed sea bounded by two vertical coastal coasts, without elevation of sea surface, but with a flat bottom; and the semi-infinite sea bounded by only ...

Greenhouse gas, upwelling‐favorable winds, and the future of coastal ocean upwelling ecosystems
Global Change Biology, 2010AbstractCoastal ocean upwelling ecosystems generally represent the most productive large marine ecosystems of the world's oceans, in terms of both primary production rates and tonnages of exploitable fish produced. The Peruvian upwelling system, in particular, stands out as a major factor in world fish production.

Coastal upwelling in the modern ocean
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1992Abstract During the past decade several major physical oceanographical experiments were performed over the continental margins along the ocean’s eastern boundaries. The studies extended farther seaward than the continental shelf and extended over the seasons.

AVHRR IMAGERY IN THE STUDY OF COASTAL UPWELLINGS
Mapping Sciences and Remote Sensing, 1993A technology for processing AVHRR/NOAA multispectral data for supporting local oceanographic monitoring is described. An algorithm is proposed for mapping the field of surface currents. Accuracy in determination of sea surface temperatures is tested via comparison with in situ measurements in the coastal upwelling zone.
