Physical processes and biological productivity in the upwelling regions of the tropical Atlantic [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2023 In this paper, we review observational and modelling results on the upwelling in the tropical Atlantic between 10∘ N and 20∘ S. We focus on the physical processes that drive the seasonal variability of surface cooling and the upward nutrient flux ...

Frontiers 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 ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Global increases in temperature are altering land-sea temperature gradients. Bakun (1990) hypothesized that changes within these gradients will directly affect atmospheric pressure cells associated with the development of winds and will consequently ...

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

Modelling the impact of Baltic Sea upwelling on the atmospheric boundary layer [PDF]
Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2014 Coastal upwelling, with a strong sea-surface temperature (SST) signal, is extremely common in the Baltic Sea during the summer months. Although the spatial scale of upwelling is small, its high frequency of occurrence in the semi-enclosed basin may allow

Physiological responses of Pocillopora corals to upwelling events in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Upwelling events can change the sea water conditions within few hours during several months on a seasonal regimen. These events are predicted to intensify due to climate change, exposing shallow benthic organisms to hypoxia and thermal stress, among ...

Temporal variability of diazotroph community composition in the upwelling region off NW Iberia. [PDF]
, 2019 Knowledge of the ecology of N2-fixing (diazotrophic) plankton is mainly limited to oligotrophic (sub)tropical oceans. However, diazotrophs are widely distributed and active throughout the global ocean.

Variations of the Somali upwelling since 18.5 ka BP and its relationship with southwest monsoon rainfall [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2018 Somali upwelling history has been reconstructed for the last 18.5 ka BP based on biogenic silica fluxes estimated from a sediment core retrieved from the western Arabian Sea.

Upwelling regime off the Cabo Frio region in Brazil and impact on acoustic propagation [PDF]
, 2018 This work introduces a description of the complex upwelling regime off the Cabo Frio region in Brazil and shows that ocean modeling, based on the feature-oriented regional modeling system (FORMS) technique, can produce reliable predictions of sound speed
