Coastal upwelling on the east of the tropical zone of the North Atlantic and its relation to the stability of the northeast tradewind
It is shown that the intensities of deep water upwelling phenomena are correlated with seasonal features of the atmospheric circulation. Increased uprising of cold deep water is accompanied by increased stability of the tradewinds; the vertical transfer of cold water grows stronger as the tradewinds...

Summary: | It is shown that the intensities of deep water upwelling phenomena are correlated with seasonal features of the atmospheric circulation. Increased uprising of cold deep water is accompanied by increased stability of the tradewinds; the vertical transfer of cold water grows stronger as the tradewinds become more stable. |
