The Upwelling Phenomenon in the Gulf of Panama: A Seasonal Event.
, 2023 Abstract Panama is unique in having "four distinct oceans" due to seasonal and stationary changes in physical and chemical conditions influenced by the dynamic position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The Gulf of Panama, part of the Panama Bight climate zone, experiences significant seasonal variations. From December to April, the ITCZ's
