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 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...
متن کاملThe cold-core eddy and strong upwelling off the coast of New South Wales in early 2007
During the Austral summer of 2006–07 a series of extreme oceanic events occurred in the Tasman Sea. Following a series of strong wind-driven upwelling events, an intense cold-core eddy developed off Sydney, Australia. A data-assimilating, eddy-resolving ocean model is used to create a threedimensional time-varying reanalysis of these events. The reanalysis indicates that the cold anomalies asso...
متن کاملMethane emissions from the upwelling area off Mauritania (NW Africa)
Coastal upwelling regions have been identified as sites of enhanced CH4 emissions to the atmosphere. The coastal upwelling area off Mauritania (NW Africa) is one of the most biologically productive regions of the world’s ocean but its CH4 emissions have not been quantified so far. More than 1000 measurements of atmospheric and dissolved CH4 in the surface layer in the upwelling area off Maurita...
متن کاملblubber of Cape fur seals Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus off the Eastern Cape coast of South Africa
The concentration of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Ni and Zn) and organochlorine contaminants (PCBs, DDT, DDE and DDD) in the blubber of 12 adult male Cape fur seals, Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus, inadvertently caught in trawl nets off the Eastern Cape coast of South Africa during commercial fishing operations between May 1993 and October 1994, was investigated. The median and range of concentra...
