Title
Observations of East Coast upwelling conditions in synthetic aperture radar imagery
Abstract
Seasonal coastal upwelling in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coastal ocean normally occurs during the summer months because of generally alongshore southerly wind episodes. Southerly winds force an offshore surface Ekman flow over the inner continental shelf. Colder and nutrient-rich waters from below upwell toward the surface replacing offshore-flowing surface waters. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) observ...
