Seasonal Wind-Driven Coastal Upwelling Systems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Upwelling Systems of the World

Abstract

This chapter describes some significant seasonal wind-driven coastal upwelling systems, most of which are associated with Large Marine Ecosystems. Starting in the west Pacific Ocean with the productive ecosystems in the East and South China Seas, the scientific journey continues through the Indonesian Seas, where the Arafura Sea stands out as a highly productive region, to coastal upwelling regions on the southern shelf of Australia and around New Zealand. Descriptions of upwelling regions in the Arabian Sea of the northern Indian Ocean, where the world’s swiftest western boundary current—the Somali Current—forms, are followed by a journey to seasonal upwelling regions of the Atlantic Ocean: the Gulf of Mexico, the southern Caribbean Sea, the Brazilian shelf, and the Eurafrican Mediterranean Sea. These upwelling systems are discussed in the context of regional fisheries and specific regional characteristics, such as oxygen minimum zones and air-sea CO2 fluxes.
