Large-scale ocean circulation requires deep water to rise to the surface, but this upwelling had never been directly observed – until now Image caption: A special high-speed winch that the researchers ...

Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomenon in which deeper, typically colder and nutrient-rich water is transported toward the surface, primarily driven by wind-induced divergence of surface waters and ...

Researchers have directly measured cold, deep water upwelling via turbulent mixing along the slope of a submarine canyon in the Atlantic Ocean. For the first time, researchers from UC San Diego's ...
