Coastal Upwelling in the Western Bay of Bengal: Role of Local and Remote Windstress

Coastal Upwelling in the Western Bay of Bengal: Role of Local and Remote Windstress

Monsoon winds drive upwelling along the eastern coast of India. This study examined the role of coastally trapped Kelvin waves in modulating the seasonal variability of local alongshore windstress (AWS)-driven coastal upwelling along the western Bay of Bengal. The winds generated AWS resulting in a...
