Low confidence in multi-decadal trends of wind-driven upwelling across the Benguela Upwelling System [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2023 Like other eastern boundary upwelling systems, in the Benguela Upwelling System, the upwelling along the coastline is primarily alongshore-wind-driven. In contrast, it is mainly driven by the wind stress curl farther offshore.

Reviews and syntheses: Physical and biogeochemical processes associated with upwelling in the Indian Ocean [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 The Indian Ocean presents two distinct climate regimes. The north Indian Ocean is dominated by the monsoons, whereas the seasonal reversal is less pronounced in the south.
