Upwelling bays: How coastal upwelling controls circulation, habitat, and productivity in bays

JL Largier - Annual Review of Marine Science, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Bays in coastal upwelling regions are physically driven and biochemically fueled by their
interaction with open coastal waters. Wind-driven flow over the shelf imposes a circulation in …

[PDF][PDF] A synoptic climatology of the near-surface wind along the west coast of South America.

DA Rahn, RD Garreaud - International Journal of Climatology, 2014 - researchgate.net
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 …
