Fig. 4: Comparison of vertical velocities from coastal and curl-driven upwelling.

From: Projected cross-shore changes in upwelling induced by offshore wind farm development along the California coast

Fig. 4

Seasonally averaged estimates of a coastal and b curl-driven upwelling computed from wind fields during spring for the baseline case. Marked on the maps are Cape Mendocino (CM), Point Arena (PA), and Point Conception (PC). Differences in wind-driven vertical velocity estimates (turbines minus baseline) are shown for c coastal and d curl-driven upwelling.
