Abstract:Upwelling plays a crucial role in driving cross-shelf circulation between the continental shelf and boundary currents. It is well known that upwelling results in the exchange of heat, nutrients, fish larvae, and other properties. It controls primary productivity, which promotes higher trophic levels and fisheries. Upwelling can be identified by at least three physical variables: wind, sea surface temperature (SST), and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a). The intensity of upwelling can then be calculated using the Upwelling… Show more
