The coast of mainland Chile extends from 18° S to about 56° S, and is about 4200 km long.
In the north, the coast is characterized by continuous, regular, and wave-exposed shores …

Satellite and atmospheric model fields are used to describe the wind forcing, surface ocean
circulation, temperature and chlorophyll-a pigment concentrations along the coast of …

Prevailing wind along the west coast of South America is equatorward, driven by the
southeast Pacific anticyclone. The wind induces strong coastal upwelling that supports one …

This study explores the main drivers of heat wave (HW) events in central Chile using state-of-
the-art reanalysis data (ERA5) and observations during the extended austral summer …

Coastal upwelling systems off the coasts of Peru and Chile are among the most productive
marine ecosystems in the world, sustaining a significant percentage of global primary …

Urbanization is altering community structure and functioning in marine ecosystems, but
knowledge about the mechanisms driving loss of species diversity is still limited. Here, we …

The near-shore surface mesoscale atmospheric circulation in the upwelling systems off Peru
and Chile is influential on the Sea Surface Temperature through Ekman transport and …

The annual cycle and phenology of phytoplankton (satellite‐derived chlorophyll‐a, Chl‐a) in
the coastal upwelling region off central‐southern Chile, their time‐space variation, the extent …

Abstract The Sea Surface Temperature (SST) intraseasonal variability (40–90 days) along
the coast of Peru is commonly attributed to the efficient oceanic connection with the …

Subseasonal variability of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in the central Benguela
upwelling system is investigated using TMI satellite‐derived data over the period 1999 …
