Every year in the Gulf of Panama, between December and April, trade winds from the north push warm surface water away from the coast, allowing cool, nutrient-rich water from the depths to rise, in a ...
Scientists have spotted something dramatically unusual in the ocean, and it could be a warning sign of things to come. Warm air dances with cold air; cold water chases warm water. It's all a part of a ...
The cold water upwell, which is vital to marine life, did not materialize for the first time on record. Researchers are trying to figure out why. By Sachi Kitajima Mulkey Each year between January and ...
The Gulf of Panama has experienced an annual wind-driven oceanographic phenomenon called upwelling for at least as long as records of it have existed. In 2025, however, seasonal upwelling failed, and ...
Panama’s seasonal upwelling in the Gulf failed to appear this year, marking the first such event in at least 40 years. Scientists point to reduced trade winds as the main cause, with ties to broader ...
During the dry season in Central America (generally between December and April), northern trade winds generate upwelling events in the ocean waters of the Gulf of Panama. Upwelling is a process that ...
Compared to other EBUS, the Benguela Upwelling System has received less intense scientific scrutiny throughout time. Furthermore, the lack of high-quality observations in this region has prevented a ...
HOLLAND, MI - Just in time for the weekend, a cold-water upwelling has occurred at some beaches along the Lake Michigan shoreline, plunging water temperatures into the 50s in some spots. Water ...
Artificial upwelling is a form of geoengineering that aims to use pipes and pumps to channel cool, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to the surface. In doing so, it could fertilize surface ...
