The signature of NAO and EA climate patterns on the vertical structure of the c...
Georg, Tina; Neves, Maria; Relvas, PauloThe current study aims to analyse the vertical structure of the ocean during upwelling events using in situ and modelled data. Additionally, the influence of climate patterns, namely the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the East Atlantic (EA) pattern, on the vertical structure and their impact on the upwelling activity are assessed for a period of 25 years (1993-2017). The study focuses on the central part ...
Links between climate and the upper ocean structure : the Canary current upwell...
Georg, TinaUpwelling in the Eastern Boundary Currents is wind-driven. Ekman transport off the coast of the Canary Current Upwelling System (CCUS) is induced by equatorward, alongshore trade winds leading to persistent upwelling of cooler subsurface water throughout the year. This study uses Upwelling Indices (UI) between 25 and 35°N to assess upwelling in the CCUS and relates it to the changes in the upper ocean structure...
