Wikiproject?[edit]

Which wikiproject is this under?--Gravity^Talk 11:49, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Oceanography wikiproject I'd say. This phenomenom would definitely come under Physical Oceanography in terms of, its science. Kotare 09:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's now under Wikiproject Oceans, which subsumed the oceanography wikiproject. Evolauxia (talk) 06:20, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Where are they?? Besides helping with Verifiability,this is an article about a phenomenom which the vast majority of people ( aside from those who study oceanography ) don't know about.. some references would be handy for them as well as for students doing projects etc. Kotare 09:17, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also would like to add that the west coast of Portugal has upwelling during on hundreds of kms of coastline but it doesn´t appear on that map. That map is based on what? If someone doubt about what I said, please google Portugal upwelling or contact the Oceanography Institut in Lisbon. If someone struggles on finding sources about this, please leave here a message, IF interested.

Thanks

One source I can provide already:

Coriolis effect[edit]

The coriolis effect applied to both water and air on the earth, so it is not just the wind that drive the current, it is mainly the coriolis effect applied on the ocean water that drive the ocean current direction. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.69.70.32 (talk) 17:31:07, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

Hi everybody! I have a question: Although there are no Coriolis forces present along the equator, upwelling still occurs just north and south of the equator. - why: no Coriolis forces present along the equator? Earth keeps turning & if waters would flow beyond the equator, they would be diverted… or not? Thanks! --Satu Katja (talk) 21:54, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Upwelling pictures[edit]

The three pictures of how an upwelling is created look really nice, but do not describe it correctly. Upwelling occurs with the wind blowing parallel or nearly parallel along the coast. This causes an Ekman transport away from the coast, resulting in an upwelling (or towards the coast, resulting in downwelling). See here for a good explanation. Therefore, I will remove the pictures.

Suggestion[edit]

There are no mentions of how global ocean acidification interacts with upwelling. A 2008 Science paper found evidence that coastal upwelling was bringing deep "acidic" waters onto the continental shelf ^[1]. The paper highlights how water undersaturated with respect to aragonite made its way into coastal surface waters--with the implication being marine calcifying organisms will be negatively impacted during upwelling seasons if the oceans continue to become more acidic. It would be nice to expand upon this subject on this page. Besides that addition, I believe the images and animation are appropriate Willmfair (talk) 05:05, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
