摘要: cumulates the highest number of upwelling (� 140 days per year) and is characterized by longer events. The intensity intermittent influenced upwellingfavorable winds, characteristics Leeuwin Current (e.g., onshore geostrophic flow, mesoscale eddies meanders, stratification nitracline) local topography. This suggests that short-living nutrient enrichment variable magnitude may occur at any time year many locations along WA coast.
