Upwelling Off the Southwest Coast of India
Various factors r esponsible in inducing upwelling are discussed. A distinction is m a de between the process of upwelling: and its etlects On the environmental cOnditions. Upwelling oft' the southwest coast of India is discussed in relation °to the time variation of density structure (CSt), horizontal divergence of surface CUrrent vectors, wind stress components parallel and perpendicular to t...
متن کاملModeling an unusual upwelling event observed along the western Adriatic coast in the summer of 2003
The goal of this research was to simulate and analyze the response of the Western Adriatic Current (WAC) to an abnormal event that occurred in the Adriatic Sea in mid-summer of 2003. At this time, a combination of extremely low discharge from the Po River and from other northwestern rivers caused by the prolonged dry season and the dominant Sirocco wind produced an ðunusual’ upwelling and cause...
متن کاملUpwelling along the western coast of the Iberian Peninsula: dependence of trends on fitting strategy
We investigated upwelling variability along the western coast of the Iberian Peninsula for the period 1948−2009 by means of wind data extracted from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis project. According to most previous studies, a remarkable weakening in upwelling intensity has been observed in the area. However, the observed linear trends are highly dependent on the length of the series. Here we show ho...
متن کاملNearshore circulation during upwelling inferred from the distribution of dissolved cadmium off the Oregon coast
The effectiveness of dissolved cadmium (Cd) as a tracer of coastal upwelling is demonstrated by comparing its water column distribution to that of traditional upwelling indicators, in particular phosphate (P) and salinity, as well as equatorward wind forcing at the Oregon coast. Cd and P concentrations in samples collected on board ship on 17–27 August 1995 between 3 and 100 km from the coast o...
متن کاملThe Benguela upwelling ecosystem lies adjacent to the south-western coast of Africa, from southern Angola
south-western coast of Africa, from southern Angola (15°S) to Cape Agulhas (35°S; Fig. 1). Ecologically, it is split into separate northern and southern subsystems by a zone of intense perennial upwelling near Lüderitz (26–27.5°S; Shannon 1985). As is characteristic of upwelling ecosystems, the Benguela is highly productive and supports abundant populations of plankton-feeding clupeoids, includ...
