Time-Dependent Coastal Upwelling [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physical Oceanography, 1973
Abstract Linear and nonlinear two-layer ocean circulation models of coastal upwelling on an f-plane are driven by time-dependent winds and solved numerically. Longshore variations in the circulation are neglected and offshore variations in the winds are specified.

The "African humid period" and the record of marine upwelling from excess ^(230)Th in Ocean Drilling Program Hole 658C [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Using a high-resolution ^(230)Th normalized record of sediment flux, we document the deglacial and Holocene history of North African aridity and coastal upwelling at Ocean Drilling Program Hole 658C. At both the end of the Younger Dryas and after the 8.2

Marine radiocarbon reservoir effect of coastal waters off Cape Verde archipelago [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Quantification of the marine radiocarbon reservoir effect (Delta R) is essential in order to calibrate conventional C-14 dates from marine shell samples with reliability.

Upwelling characteristics in the Gulf of Finland (Baltic Sea) as revealed by Ferrybox measurements in 2007–2013 [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science, 2016
Ferrybox measurements have been carried out between Tallinn and Helsinki in the Gulf of Finland (Baltic Sea) on a regular basis since 1997. The system measures autonomously water temperature, salinity, chlorophyll a fluorescence and turbidity and takes ...

Dynamics of wind-driven upwelling and relaxation between Monterey Bay and Point Arena: Local-, regional-, and gyre-scale controls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In north and central California, equatorward winds drive equatorward flows and the upwelling of cold dense water over the shelf during the midspring and summer upwelling season.

Wind variability across the North Humboldt Upwelling System

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Surface wind is taken as the primary driver of upwelling in the eastern boundary upwelling systems. The fluctuation of momentum flux associated with the variation in wind regulates the nutrient supply to the euphotic surface layer via changing the ...

Automated detection of coastal upwelling in the Western Indian Ocean: Towards an operational “Upwelling Watch” system

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Coastal upwelling is an oceanographic process that brings cold, nutrient-rich waters to the ocean surface from depth. These nutrient-rich waters help drive primary productivity which forms the foundation of ecological systems and the fisheries dependent ...

Remotely forced nearshore upwelling in southern California [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
[1] Alongshore winds in Baja California strongly influence nearshore temperatures hundreds of kilometers to the north at Point Loma, San Diego, California, on timescales of a week to a year.

Coastal Upwelling Limitation by Onshore Geostrophic Flow in the Gulf of Guinea Around the Niger River Plume

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Wind-driven coastal upwelling can be compensated by onshore geostrophic flow, and river plumes are associated with such flow. We investigate possible limitation of the northeast Gulf of Guinea upwelling by the Niger River plume, using regional ocean ...

Harmful Algal Blooms in Coastal Upwelling Systems [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2005
14 pages, 9 figures The California Current, Humboldt Current, Canary Current, Iberian Coastal System, and Benguela Current represent five Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) associated with eastern boundary upwelling regimes (Figure 1). LMEs are characterized by distinct bathymetry, hydrography, productivity, and trophically dependent populations.
