From deep water to the surface: The nexus between climate, upwelling and marine ecosystems
Upwelling is a process in which deep, cold water rises toward the surface. Typically, water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is colder and rich in nutrients. This is the reason why coastal upwelling ecosystems ...
