Saturday midday update: Lake Michigan water temperatures north of Saugatuck have fallen significantly due to the process of upwelling. Upwelling occurs when an offshore wind blows the surface water ...

Exactly how the turbulent mixing of ocean water relates to global overturning circulation has been little understood by oceanographers, but an international research team, including an Earth system ...

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 ...

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 ...
