La région océanique située au large des côte sénégalaises et mauritaniennes est l’une des zones le plus productives dans le monde en raison du système d’upwelling qui a lieu en hiver. Cette saisonnalité est très spécifique à cette région. Ce système d’upwelling se distingue donc des autres upwellings classiquement appelés upwelling de bord est (EBUSs: Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems) tels que le système des Canaries, de la Californie, du Pérou-Chili et du Benguela et qui sont maximum en été. Le devenir de ces upwellings sous l’effet du changement climatique a récemment reçu beaucoup d’attention. Les premières études ont suggéré que leur intensité pourrait augmenter à l’avenir, mais les observations récentes ne permettent pas de dégager des preuves solides. Le système d’upwelling sénégalo-mauritanien est en grande partie exclu de ces études, malgré son rôle crucial pour le développement socio-économique des populations riveraines, dont la nourriture et le revenu dépendent fortement des ressources halieutiques. Dans ce contexte, cette thèse propose une caractérisation de la représentation de ce système dans les modèles de climat de la basse CMIP5 et de sa réponse sous l’effet de l’augmentation des gaz à effet de serre. Notre analyse est basée sur les caractéristiques de l’upwelling en termes de forçage du vent et de signature de la température de surface de la mer. Malgré une certaine diversité dans la capacité des modèles à représenter ce système d’upwelling, les résultats suggèrent que son intensité pourrait au contraire diminuer à l’avenir, principalement en raison de la réduction de la force du vent. D’autre part, cette thèse propose une première analyse de la variabilité inter-annuelle à décennale de l’intensité de ce système à partir de réanalyses. Les indices de caractérisation de l’intensité de l’upwelling ne sont pas toujours cohérents entre eux sur la période historique mais ils suggèrent une variabilité à l’échelle de temps décennale marquée. Le lien avec l’AMV n’est pas robuste, à la différence du lien avec l’intensité de la mousson au cours de la saison opposée. Le mécanisme liant ces deux systèmes est en partie expliqué par les modulations saisonnières de la position hivernale de la zone de convergence intertropicaleThe oceanic region located off the Senegalese and Mauritanian coasts is one of the most productive one in the world ocean. This is due to the upwelling system, which occurs during the winter season in this region. This seasonality is very specific. In particular, it differs from the well-known upwelling systems located along the eastern coast of the tropical oceans but further poleward such as along Morocco and the Iberian peninsula, the Californian coast, the Peru-Chili and the Benguela. These upwelling systems are maximum in summer. Several studies have investigated their sensitivity to global warming. Early studies have suggested that their intensity may increase in the future, but recent observations do not clear give robust evidence of this behavior. The winter senegalo-mauritanian upwelling system has been largely excluded from these studies, in spite of its crucial role for the socio-economical development of the populations of the surrounding region, whose food and income strongly depend on the halieutic resources. In this context, this study proposes an evaluation of the representation of this system in the CMIP5 climate models, and its response to climate change. Our analysis is based on characteristics of the upwelling in terms of wind forcing and sea surface temperature signature. In spite of some diversity in the model’s ability to represent the senegalo-mauritanian upwelling system, the results suggest that its intensity may rather decrease in the future, primarily because of a reduction of the wind forcing. In a second hand we propose an analysis of the inter-annual to decadal variability of the intensity of the upwelling based on recent reanalyses. This study focuses on the link with the monsoon and with large scale climate modes such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Atlantic Multi- decadal Oscillation (AMO). The link with the decadal variations of the West African Monsoon (WAM) during the opposite season is relatively clear. It is associated with anomalous trajectories of the ITCZ. The indices characterizing the upwelling are not always correlated with each other, showing that they are not yet very robust. They nevertheless indicate a marked variability at the decadal timescale partly associated with the AMO

Madagascar’s southern coastal marine zone is a region of high biological productivity which supports a wide range of marine ecosystems, including fisheries. This high biological productivity is attributed to coastal upwelling. The thesis seeks to characterise the variability of the coastal upwelling south of Madagascar. The first part of the thesis provides new insights on the structure, variability and drivers of the coastal upwelling south of Madagascar. Satellite remote sensing is used to characterize the spatial extent and strength of the coastal upwelling. A front detection algorithm is applied to thirteen years of Multi-scale Ultra-high Resolution (MUR) Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) and an upwelling index is calculated. The influence of winds and ocean currents as drivers of the upwelling are investigated using satellite, in-situ observations, and a numerical model. Results reveal the presence of two well-defined upwelling cells. The first cell (Core 1) is located in the southeastern corner of Madagascar, and the second cell (Core 2) is west of the southern tip of Madagascar. These two cores are characterized by different seasonal variability, different intensities, different upwelled water mass origins, and distinct forcing mechanisms. Core 1 is associated with a dynamical upwelling forced by the detachment of the East Madagascar Current (EMC), which is reinforced by upwelling favourable winds. Core 2 which appears to be primarily forced by upwelling favourable winds, is also influenced by a poleward eastern boundary flow coming from the Mozambique Channel. This intrusion of Mozambique Channel warm waters could result in an asynchronicity in seasonality between upwelling surface signature and upwelling favourables winds. The second part of the thesis focuses on the interaction between the intrusion of warm water from Mozambique channel and the upwelling cell in Core 2. Cruise datasets, satellite remote sensing observations and model data analyses are combined to highlight the existence of a coastal surface poleward flow in the south-west of Madagascar: the South-west MAdagascar iv Coastal Current (SMACC). The SMACC is a relatively shallow (Coastal Current (SMACC). The SMACC is a relatively shallow (<300 m) and narrow (<100km wide) warm and salty coastal surface current, which flows along the south western coast of Madagascar toward the south, opposite to the dominant winds. The warm water surface signature of the SMACC extends from 22◦S (upstream) to 26.4◦S (downstream). The SMACC exhibits a seasonal variability: more intense in summer and reduced in winter. The average volume transport of its core is about 1.3 Sv with a mean summer maximum of 2.1 Sv. It is forced by a strong cyclonic wind stress curl associated with the bending of the trade winds along the southern tip of Madagascar. The SMACC directly influences the coastal upwelling regions south of Madagascar. Its existence is likely to influence local fisheries and larval transportpatterns, as well as the connectivity with the Agulhas Current, affecting the returning branch of the global overturning circulation. The last part of the thesis provides a holistic understanding of the inter-annual variability of the upwelling cells associated with the multiple forcing mechanisms defined in the first two parts of this work. Results reveal that the upwelling cells, Core 1 and Core 2, have different inter-annual variabilities. Inter-annual variability of Core 1 is associated with the East Madagascar Current (EMC) while Core 2 is linked with the South-west MAdagascar Coastal Current (SMACC). Inter-annual changes in the EMC occur as a result of oscillations in the South Equatorial Current (SEC) bifurcation off Madagascar, while the inter-annual variability in the SMACC is influenced by the cyclonic wind stress curl inter-annual variability. The upwelling is also linked with global/regional climate modes. Both Cores are highly correlated with the Subtropical Indian Ocean Dipole (SIOD). Core 2 is also correlated to the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). Both cores are significantly correlated with the El Ni˜no-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) after 12 months lag.

Magister Scientiae (Biodiversity and Conservation Biology)Coastal upwelling is one of the most important oceanographic processes relating to ecosystem function at local and global spatial scales. To better understand how changes in upwelling trends may occur in the face of ongoing anthropogenically induced climate change it is important to quantify historical trends in climatic factors responsible for enabling coastal upwelling. However, a paucity of conclusive knowledge relating to patterns concerning changes in upwelling across the world’s oceans over time makes such analyses difficult. In this study I aimed to quantify these patterns by first identifying when upwelling events occur using a novel method for predicting the behaviours of coastal upwelling systems over time. By using remotely sensed SST data of differing resolutions as well as several wind variables I was able to identify and quantify upwelling signals at several distances away from the coastline of various upwelling systems. Using this novel method of determining upwelling, I then compared upwelling patterns within all Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) over a period of 37 years, with the assumption that climate change was likely to have driven variable wind patterns leading to a more intense upwelling over time. Overall, upwelling patterns and wind variables did not intensify overtime. This method of identifying upwelling may allow for the development of predictive capabilities to investigate upwelling trends in the future.

The dynamic Benguela Upwelling System is one of four major upwelling regions in the world and is subdivided into two sub-systems, the northern and southern Benguela. This current study was conducted within the southern Benguela, which lies between 27°S and 35°S (Orange River Mouth to East London) and is characterized on the west coast by seasonal, wind-driven, coastal upwelling. The study targeted three picophytoplankton groups, Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus and picoeukaryotes, which are the three most abundant < 2 µm size class phytoplankton. Flow cytometry was employed to enumerate picophytoplankton abundances, using their pigments and cell sizes to identify the different groups. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of picophytoplankton in the southern Benguela coastal upwelling ecosystem. These aims were met by: i) determining the spatiotemporal variability of each of the three picophytoplankton groups over a period of 8 sampling cruises at 44 stations across four latitudinal lines in the study region, ii) determining short-term changes in carbon and nitrogen biomass of picophytoplankton and their growth rates over a 10-day period, using abundance estimates from a station off St. Helena Bay, and iii) estimating mortality of microbial communities in a laboratory study using samples collected from a coastal upwelling environment. Results showed no strong seasonality in picophytoplankton abundances but evidence of latitudinal and zonal effects. Investigations over the short term showed that populations of picophytoplankton in the southern Benguela change on the same timescale of ~3 days as the larger phytoplankton during an upwelling event. Determining mortality rates using a dilution experiment presented some challenges. Instead of increased growth rates, the study showed decreased growth rates as predator numbers decreased. These shortcomings were investigated in a second experiment, which both excluded large predators (<200µm) and also ran a parallel experiment excluding smaller predators (10-200 µm). The last of these experiments resulted in increased growth rates as predator numbers decreased. The complexity of the southern Benguela system, with its pulsed, high productivity and large concentrations of nutrients, traditionally is known to show variability through effects on the biology of large phytoplankton. However, picophytoplankton also were variable in the study area, resulting from bottom up effects of the environment, confounded by biotic factors such as predation, parasitism and competition

The study investigates the dynamics of a small space scale (less than 10 km) coastal upwelling region at the temporal scales spanning hours to years. Three to four year time series data sets of, sea temperatures at different depths (2m, 5 m and 8,5 m) one kilometer offshore, of wind and of waves, obtained from Eskom for the Koeberg nuclear power station site study near Melkbosstrand (33° 41'S, 18° 26'E) were digitized on an hourly basis. An emphasis is placed on the study of the wind and sea temperature data, the latter being an unique data set in the South African context. The data were filtered into different frequency bands (<12,0 <0,5 <0,025 cpd). Simple statistics, linear correlation and spectral analysis were used to characterize these bands. Dominant temporal scales were identified as the seasonal, event (synoptic) and diurnal time scales. The characterization of the latter two time scales were supplemented with field work which inter alia measured: sea temperature profiles and transects; sea surface temperature distribution with the airborne radiation thermometry technique and Lagrangian currents.

Wind-driven up welling events near Brooks Peninsula off the west coast of Vancouver Island have been identified during the summers of 1988 and 1989 from sea surface NOAA AVHRR thermal imagery obtained at the UBC Satellite Oceanography and Meteorology Laboratory. Software has been developed to characterize the strength and extent of the surface cooling associated with the upwelling. A two-dimensional, 2-layer finite difference model with 1 km resolution has been formulated to examine the small-scale dynamics of the upwelling events. The model uses local wind and includes realistic coastline and bathymetry. The wind-stress and coastline configuration appear to be the main factors contributing to favourable upwelling regions. The results of the model compare favourably to the observed starting location of the upwelling.Science, Faculty of

During the last two decades the scientific community has recognised the importance of the tropical Atlantic Ocean and the upwelling regions on the Earth's climate. This recognition has opened new questions such as: ¿What are the mechanisms for the ocean to adjust to variations in atmospheric forcing?, ¿Is there any indirect relation between the atmospheric seasonal cycle and the response of the surface ocean?, ¿How are the meridional boundary flows connected with the zonal jets in the interior ocean?, ¿What is the relevance of these processes in the redistribution of properties such as water mass, heat and fresh water?
In this dissertation we explore several elements that determine the effect of the surface wind stress onto the processes within the near-surface ocean. The work focuses on recognizing the (subinertial) response mechanisms of the ocean surface to the spatial and temporal wind variations in two upwelling regions: a coastal region off Northwest Africa, in the area near Cape Blanc, and an oceanic region, in the equatorial Atlantic. With this purpose we use in situ and satellite data as well as numerical data from a high-resolution circulation model. The analysis of these data has been done with several methodologies, in some cases requiring substantial developments and tuning for local applications.
The implementation of the Maximum Cross-Correlation Method has allowed determining some of the characteristics of the instantaneous and mean surface fields, during winter and spring, in the upwelling region north and south of Cape Blanc. We have identified three regions which are characterized by different responses to short-time changes of the along-shore wind stress. North of Cape Blanc stands out the intensity of the coastal baroclinic jet, in the Cape Verde basin the mesoscalar structures are relatively weak and large, and off Cape Blanc there is along-shore convergence which traduces in the formation of a normal-to-shore giant surface filament.
The analyses of time series corresponding to several upwelling indexes show that the atmospheric forcing and the oceanic response are different north and south of Cape Blanc and during the first and second trimester of the year. The total subinertial flux may be represented as the combination of a surface Ekman flux (calculated as the Ekman transport divided by the thickness of the surface mixed layer) and the surface geostrophic current (deduced from altimetry satellite images). One of the most relevant results is that the temporal and spatial changes in the normal-to-shore Ekman transport influence the intensity of the geostrophic (baroclinic) coastal jet, therefore affecting the corresponding along-shore convergence (e.g. becoming intensified off Cape Blanc) and the offshore transport of upwelled waters.
The dissertation has also aimed at understanding the patterns of seasonal variability in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean through the statistical analysis of time series of sea level pressure, sea surface wind stress, sea surface height, and the circulation of the near-surface ocean. The data reveals a predominant annual component in all these variables, closely related to the latitudinal oscillation of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone. The equatorial divergence of the Ekman transport is well correlated with the intensity of the zonal system of equatorial currents, which includes the Equatorial Undercurrent and its northern and southern branches. Additionally, the seasonal appearance of the North Equatorial Counter Current during (boreal) summer and fall is related to the meridional convergence of the Ekman transport during those same seasons, which leads to a temporal rise of sea level and the generation of an eastward current in geostrophic balance. In general, the divergence/convergence of meridional Ekman transport is dominant in the northern hemisphere and of lesser relevance in the southern hemisphere.Durante las últimas dos décadas la comunidad científica internacional ha pasado a reconocer la importancia del Océano Atlántico tropical y las regiones de afloramiento en el clima terrestre. Este reconocimiento ha abierto nuevos interrogantes, tales como: ¿Cuáles son los mecanismos de ajuste del océano a las variaciones en el forzamiento atmosférico?, ¿Existe algún tipo de relación indirecta entre el ciclo estacional atmosférico y la respuesta del océano superficial?, ¿Cómo se conectan los flujos oceánicos meridionales en los contornos con los flujos zonales en el océano interior?, ¿Cuál es la importancia de estos procesos en la redistribución de propiedades tales como masa, calor y agua dulce? En esta tesis se exploran diversos elementos que determinan el efecto del esfuerzo del viento superficial sobre los procesos que ocurren en el océano superficial. El trabajo se centra en reconocer cuales son los mecanismos (subinerciales) de respuesta de la superficie del océano a las variaciones espaciales y temporales del viento en dos regiones de afloramiento: una costera al Noroeste de África, en el área cercana a Cabo Blanco, y otra oceánica, en el Atlántico ecuatorial. Para ello se emplean observaciones in situ, datos satelitales y datos numéricos provenientes de un modelo de circulación de alta resolución. El análisis de estos datos se ha realizado con diversas metodologías, cuya aplicación en algunos casos ha requerido un esfuerzo substancial de desarrollo y puesta a punto. La implementación del método de Máximas Correlaciones Cruzadas ha permitido determinar algunas de las características de los campos instantáneos y medios de velocidades superficiales, durante invierno y primavera, en la región del afloramiento de Cabo Blanco. Se han identificando tres regiones caracterizadas por tener respuestas distintas a los cambios que el viento paralelo a la costa experimenta en escalas temporales cortas. Al norte de Cabo Blanco destaca la intensidad del chorro baroclino costero, en la cuenca de Cabo Verde se aprecian estructuras mesoscalares relativamente débiles y grandes, y frente a Cabo Blanco existe convergencia paralela a costa que se traduce en flujo normal a costa en forma de un gran filamento superficial. El análisis de las series temporales de diversos índices de afloramiento muestra que los forzamientos atmosféricos y las respuestas oceánicas son distintas al norte y sur de Cabo Blanco y durante el primer y segundo trimestre del año. El flujo subinercial resultante se puede representar como la combinación de un flujo superficial de Ekman (calculado como el transporte de Ekman dividido por la profundidad de la capa de mezcla) y la corriente geostrófica superficial (deducida a partir de imágenes satelitales de altimetría). Uno de los resultados más relevantes es que los cambios espaciales y temporales en el transporte de Ekman perpendicular a costa influyen sobre la intensidad del chorro geostrófico (baroclíno) costero, y por tanto afectan su convergencia a lo largo de la costa intensificándose, por ejemplo, frente a Cabo Blanco) y la transferencia neta de aguas afloradas hacia el océano interior. La tesis también se ha encaminado a investigar los patrones de variabilidad estacional del Océano Atlántico ecuatorial, a través del análisis estadístico de series temporales de presión a nivel de mar, esfuerzo cortante del viento sobre la superficie oceánica, elevación del océano superficial, y la circulación oceánica superficial. Los datos revelan una fuerte componente anual en estas variables, estrechamente vinculada con la oscilación meridional de la Zona de Convergencia Intertropical. La divergencia ecuatorial del transporte de Ekman se correlaciona adecuadamente con la intensidad del sistema de corrientes zonales ecuatoriales, que incluyen la Corriente Ecuatorial Subsuperficial y sus ramales norte y sur. Asimismo, la aparición estacional de la Contra-Corriente Ecuatorial durante verano y otoño (boreal) se relaciona con la convergencia meridional en el transporte de Ekman que tiene lugar durante estas épocas, lo cual conduce a una subida del nivel del mar y la generación de una corriente hacia el este en balance geostrófico. En general se aprecia que los procesos de divergencia/convergencia del transporte meridional de Ekman son dominantes en el hemisferio norte y de menor relevancia en el hemisferio sur. Finalmente, con el fin de comprender mejor la dinámica ecuatorial, se ha desarrollado un modelo sencillo que permite cuantificar el aporte de la divergencia de Ekman al flujo zonal en varias bandas zonales características. Se han identificado dos condiciones típicas extremas, en primavera y otoño, y se han calculado la divergencia/convergencia meridional a través de líneas definidas por un máximo en la elevación de la superficie del mar. Bajo la suposición de que el transporte zonal cerca del contorno oriental (aquí tomada a una longitud de 0º) es nulo, se estima que la franja ecuatorial presenta, en su margen occidental, valores máximos de transporte correspondientes a 58 Sv en primavera y 27 Sv durante otoño, cuyo origen es el sistema de corrientes de frontera oeste.

L’extrémité sud du système du courant des Canaries comprend un centre d’upwelling (résurgence localisée d’eaux froides sous l’action de vents favorables) qui a jusqu’ici reçu peu d’attention. Ma thèse porte sur la dynamique de ce centre d’upwelling sud Sénégal ou SSUC (Southern Senegal Upwelling Center en anglais). Elle s’intéresse donc à la circulation et à la structure thermohaline sur le large plateau sud-sénégalais, entre la côte et _100-200 km au large en se focalisant sur la période d’upwelling (Novembre-Mai). Une des particularités de la zone est la séparation entre la zone d’upwelling au centre du plateau et des eaux plus chaudes au large et à la côte. Mes travaux combinent analyse d’images satellite et d’observations in-situ, avec la réalisation et l’analyse de simulations numériques dans l’état de l’art. Par une analyse fine des conditions physiques de la zone, ils posent la base à une approche intégrée du fonctionnement de l’environnement marin sénégalais. Une première partie des résultats se base sur l’examen et l’analyse de plus de 1500 images satellite de température de surface de la mer SST MODIS, contextualisées par rapport aux conditions synoptiques de vent. Cette analyse met en lumière l’existence d’états récurrents du SSUC, en termes de SST. Elles confirment plus généralement la régularité et la stabilité du fonctionnement dynamique du système, mais aussi révèlent des aspects subtils de la structure de l’upwelling : refroidissement des eaux de surface probablement dû au déferlement et au mélange associé à la marée interne ; interaction complexe entre la remontée locale, le courant de Mauritanie et le jet côtier ; complexité probable des échanges entre les différentes parties du plateau (plateau intérieur accueillant des eaux réchauffées, plateau central où est fréquemment situé la langue d’eau froide). L’amplitude du cycle diurne suggère que de grandes incertitudes restent à lever dans le budget de chaleur de l’upwelling . Les limites des études soulignent la nécessité de continuer la mesure in situ dans le SSUC, en particulier des vents. Le fonctionnement dynamique du SSUC est aussi étudié par la modélisation hydrodynamique (ROMS) à haute résolution (_2km). Différentes simulations ont été réalisées en variant les forçages (climatologiques ou synoptiques pour le vent ; modification fine échelle des flux de chaleur en domaine côtier ; présence ou absence de marée). Les solutions numériques montrent en général un bon accord avec les observations satellite et in situ disponibles. Ces solutions éclairent le fonctionnement dynamique du système notamment en termes de circulation, de position de remontée d’upwelling, mais également du devenir des eaux upwellées grâce à une analyse lagrangienne. Nous avons notamment pu montrer que la zone nord du SSUC est la zone principale de remontée et les eaux qui y remontent, proviennent en grande majorité de la zone sud du SSUC d’où elles sont amenées par le courant de Mauritanie. Les analyses lagrangiennes ont aussi permis de - 3 - révéler la dynamique associée à la zone côtière de nourricerie et de nuancer le schéma conceptuel de rétention précédemment admis. La sensibilité de la dynamique du SSUC aux forçages atmosphériques est modeste avec néanmoins des modulations des échanges cross-shore qui peuvent être importantes pour l’écosystèmeThe southern end of the Canary current system comprises of an original upwelling center that has so far received little attention. This Ph.D. Thesis focuses on the dynamical functioning of the Southern Senegal-Gambia Upwelling Center (SSUC). We are interested in the upwelling circulation and thermohaline structure on the shelf between the coastline and 100-200 km offshore. Our focus is on the upwelling period (November to May). The main originality of the SSUC compared to other upwelling centers stems from its continental shelf that is broad and shallow (20–30 m over tens of kilometers). The normal state of the system comprises the classical upwelling front but also a well-defined inner-shelf front that separates cold upwelled waters from nearshore warmer waters. We investigate its dynamical functioning using analysed satellite images, in situ data and state-of-theart 3D numerical simulations. Through a fine-scale analysis of the physical conditions of the SSUC, this work poses the basis of an integrated approach to the Senegalese marine environment functioning. A first part of results is based on the careful examinations and analysis of over 1500 satellite images of sea surface temperature scenes contextualized with respect to wind conditions. Analysis confirm the regularity and stability of the SSUC dynamical functioning (as manifested by the recurrence and persistence of particular SST patterns). The analysis also reveal subtle aspects of its upwelling structure : shelf break cooling of surface waters consistent with internal tide breaking/mixing ; complex interplay between local upwelling and the Mauritanian current off the Cape Verde headland ; complexity of the inner-shelf/mid shelf frontal transition. The amplitude of the diurnal cycle suggests that large uncertainties exist in the SSUC heat budget. The studies limitations underscore the need for continuous in situ measurement in the SSUC, particularly of winds. The dynamical functioning of SSUC is also investigated by means of numerical simulations, using the hydrodynamical Regional Ocean Modeling System ROMS (_x _ 2 km). Different simulations have been carried with varying forcings (climatological or synoptic wind ; fine-scale adjustments of heat flux in coastal area ; presence or absence of tides). Numerical solutions show a good agreement with available satellite and in situ observations . These solutions clarify the dynamical functioning of the system especially in terms of circulation, location of cold water upwelling but also fate of upwelled water through a Lagrangian analysis. We show in particular that the northern part of the SSUC is the main upwelling area. Waters that upwelled in this area predominantly come from the southern of the SSUC, through advection by the Mauritanian current. Lagrangian analysis also revealed the dynamics associated with the coastal area of nursery and nuance the conceptual retention scheme previously admitted. The sensitivity of the dynamics of SSUC to atmospheric forcings is modest with nevertheless some modulations of the cross-shore exchanges that may be important to the ecosystem

Sandy beaches are often highly allochthonous, depending on external subsidies of carbon and nutrients. Despite this, sandy beach macrofaunal assemblages have received little attention regarding their response to enhanced primary productivity generated from coastal upwelling. This thesis investigates the influence of upwelling on macrofaunal assemblages over a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Spatially, four regions were examined across two biogeographic provinces to remove temperature as a confounding factor, and limit biogeography-specific effects. A nested hierarchical design enabled both large and small scales to be examined and generalities about upwelling effects across multiple areas to be considered. Sampling was conducted in two seasons, and over two years, to test the persistence of any effects. Biogeography and region had the strongest influences on macrofaunal biodiversity. Upwelling influenced macrofaunal assemblages in every region when analyses were conducted at the species level. However, the particular effect, positive or negative, differed among regions depending on local factors, and between the response variables, abundance and biomass. Coarser scales of taxonomy, feeding guild and developmental mode were investigated; however, the influence of upwelling generally became weaker and more varied, and occasionally disappeared. Seasonality was greater on the South Coast but was still important in some analyses on the West Coast. At the small-scale, variation within-beaches was lower than between beaches, assemblage structure remained stable over time, and consistent zonation was not present. The influence of temperature on filtration rate and oxygen consumption of Donax serra was investigated to test a driving mechanism for assemblage responses to upwelling. Feeding ability was significantly reduced at colder temperatures indicating an important factor which may be involved in determining assemblage structure. These results suggest that alterations to upwelling regimes predicted under climate change scenarios will impact sandy beach macrofauna, however the specific outcome will depend on multiple contextual factors.

In this study, an analysis of upwelling and biological activities impact on the seawater pCO2 variability was done to improve the knowledge about the pCO2 variability in seawater in the Baltic Sea. During upwelling activity, CO2 rich waters are upwelled to the surface. This influences air-sea CO2 flux and thus the net uptake/emission of CO2 by the sea. pCO2 and SST measurements from a SAMI sensor, located at the Östergarnsholm site in the Baltic Sea, and SST satellite data, was used to identify periods affected by upwelling activity. A strong variability due to upwelling activity was observed on the pCO2 concentration. The frequency of upwelling activity at the Östergarnsholm site was estimated to be around 20 % of the time from May-November. The relationship between pCO2 and SST during upwelling activity was found to depend of the month. In November, this relationship can be used to characterise the effect of upwelling, but for the other months there are no differences between the none- upwelling periods and the upwelling periods. Another type of period, characterized by a diurnal variability of pCO2 mainly driven by the biological effect, was also observed.I denna studie undersöktes hur uppvällning och biologisk aktivitet påverkar koncentrationen av pCO2 i havet. Detta gjordes för att få ökad förståelse för korttidsvariationen av pCO2 i Östersjön. Under uppvällning pressas CO2-rikt vatten upp till ytan. Detta påverkar flödet av CO2 mellan hav och atmosfär och då även det totala upptaget/utsläppet av CO2 från havet. I studien användes pCO2 och SST mätningar från en SAMI-sensor, placerad vid Östergarnsholm i Östersjön, och en del satellitdata för att identifiera perioder påverkade av uppvällning. Det observerades att uppvällnings inverkan på koncentrationen av pCO2 varierar kraftigt. Frekvensen av uppvällning vid Östergarnsholm uppskattades vara ungefär 20 % av tiden under maj-november. Relationen mellan SST och pCO2 under perioder med uppvällning observerades variera från maj-november. I november kan denna relation användas till att uppskatta effekten av uppvällning men under de andra månaderna är relationen under uppvällning för lika relationen under icke- uppvällning. Även en annan slags perioder observerades; under dessa perioder observerades en dygnscykel av pCO2, driven av biologisk aktivitet.

Cyclonic oceanic vortices (eddies) ranging from ~10 to 150km in diameter that travel along the Florida Keys are investigated. This study employs hydrodynamic parameters from simulations in a high-resolution (~900m horizontally), three-dimensional (26 vertical levels) HYbrid Coordinates Ocean Model regional application to study coastal to offshore interactions along the Florida Keys. These parameters are compared qualitatively to observations from Chlorophyll-a Satellite (SEAWiFs) and HF Radar (WERA). Further, eddy characteristics along the Florida Keys are determined using the Okubo-Weiss parameter combined with Sea-Surface Height fields for the period 2004- 2008. Additionally, their temporal scales are assessed using spectral time-series analysis via Welch?s Fast Fourier Transform and Wavelet Transforms. Some processes that influence eddy evolution along the Florida Keys are presented in the form of case studies. And finally, the relative contribution of mesoscale and submesoscale eddies to the upwelling along the Florida Keys is assessed, supporting the argument that these features contribute to produce water exchanges between the offshore flow and the coastal areas.

In this study, four and a half months of ceilometer data from Östergarnsholm are used to analyze cloud related to processes in the boundary layer. Measurements are divided into two categories, which are defined by wind direction: a continental and a marine sector. The results show that there are significant differences in the height of the lowest cloud bases detected for the two sectors, where cloud base heights are lower for the marine wind sector during unstable and neutral conditions. The ceilometer’s ability to detect several cloud base heights simultaneously is utilized to test whether a double layer structure (DLS) can be detected. The results of this particular analysis are inconclusive as to whether a DLS has been observed or not. Detected cloud base heights differ greatly from heights suggested by the lifting condensation level (LCL). A new empirical formula for lowest cloud base height is then derived using the measurements. The Ceilometer’s estimations of sky cover are assessed to be of reasonable quality. This is suggested by computed high correlation with incoming shortwave radiation at noon for three months. However, histograms of cloud cover measurements suggest that the ceilometer tends to probably either overestimate or underestimate cloud cover. Large differences in cloud cover were observed for the two wind sectors during unstable conditions. For the months of July and August, a diurnal cycle in cloud cover for the continental wind sector was observed which suggest the presence of Stratocumulus. Measurements performed during upwelling conditions closely resemble those of the marine wind sector performed during stable conditions.

[Truncated abstract] This work was the first large-scale biological oceanographic study to be undertaken in the coastal eastern Indian Ocean adjacent to Western Australia, and covered both northwest (Exmouth Peninsula to the Abrolhos Islands) and southwest (Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin) regions. The study area was dominated by the Leeuwin Current (LC), an anomalous eastern boundary current that transports tropical water poleward and prevents deep nutrients from reaching the surface by creating large-scale downwelling. Indeed, LC and offshore waters were consistently associated with low nitrate concentrations and low phytoplankton biomass and production (< 200 mg C m-2 d-1). However, the physical forcing of the LC was offset, during the summer months, by upwelling associated with wind-driven inshore countercurrents (Ningaloo and Capes Currents), which provided a mechanism to access high nutrient concentrations normally confined to the base of the LC. ... Limited seasonal investigations off the Capes region of southwestern Australia showed that the winter production scenario can be very different than summer conditions, with strong Leeuwin Current flow that meanders onto the continental shelf and entrains seasonally nutrient-enriched shelf waters. However, production in the LC was still low (≤450 mg C m-2 d-1) due to light limitation resulting from both increased light attenuation and reduced surface irradiance characteristic of the winter months. This investigation provides fundamental knowledge on physical-biological coupling off Western Australia, with implications for fisheries management in view of seasonal and inter-annual variability in the strength of both the Leeuwin Current and inshore countercurrents.

Um modelo oceânico de 1 ½ camadas é desenvolvido e acoplado ao modelo atmosférico tridimensional de meso escala TVM-NH, com a finalidade de estudar a interação entre a circulação atmosférica e o fenômeno de ressurgência costeira na região de Cabo Frio (RJ Brasil). A condição de contorno do modelo oceânico foi testada e provou ser pouco reflexiva. O modelo oceânico demonstrou ser capaz de representar a distribuição espacial e evolução temporal da temperatura da superfície do mar na região de estudo. O modelo acoplado foi então utilizado para estudar a influência conjunta entre a ressurgência costeira e a circulação de brisa marítima. Verificou-se que a brisa marítima intensifica a ressurgência, mas a ressurgência não intensifica a brisa marítima e, portanto, não foi verificada a retroalimentação positiva entre os dois fenômenos. Resultados mostraram que a cobertura do solo não tem influência significativa na circulação atmosférica da região, porém a topografia é fator determinante dos padrões de circulação atmosférica e é a causadora dos jatos de baixos níveis encontrados na região, devendo ser considerada em estudos sobre as circulações atmosférica e oceânica da região. Com ventos predominantes de NE, a topografia acelera o vento em superfície, intensificando indiretamente o fenômeno de ressurgência costeira, e o ar marinho penetra no continente, aumentando a estabilidade estática da atmosfera. Com ventos predominantes de SW, o padrão de ressurgência é interrompido, aumentando a temperatura da superfície do mar, transportando ar continental sobre o oceano e diminuindo a estabilidade da atmosfera. No período de inverno, na situação de interrupção do padrão de ressurgência, a atmosfera é menos estável, principalmente sobre o oceano, e somente nessa situação é observada a presença de brisa terrestre. As correntes oceânicas em superfície, na situação com ressurgência, têm direção principal de nordeste, e, na situação sem ressurgência, têm direção principal de sudeste. O acoplamento dos modelos foi um importante instrumento para o estudo das características da camada limite atmosférica da região de Cabo Frio, pois, nessa região, a circulação atmosférica, a topografia, a circulação oceânica e a evolução espacial e temporal da temperatura da superfície do mar estão fortemente inter-relacionadas.A 1½-layer oceanic model is developed and coupled to the three-dimensional mesoscale atmospheric model, TVM-NH, to study the interaction between the atmospheric circulation and the coastal upwelling phenomenon at the Cabo Frio area (RJ Brazil). The boundary condition of the oceanic model was tested and it proved to be weakly reflective. The ocean model has been shown to represent the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of the sea surface temperature in the region of study. The coupled model was then used to study the combined influence of coastal upwelling and sea breeze circulation and it was found that the sea breeze intensifies the upwelling, but the upwelling does not enhance the sea breeze. Therefore, it was not found a positive feedback between coastal upwelling and sea breeze. Results showed that the soil cover has no significant influence on the atmospheric circulation in the region, but the topography plays an important role on the pattern of the atmospheric circulation. The topography is the cause of the low level jets found in the area and, therefore, it should be considered in studies of atmospheric and oceanic circulations. With NE prevailing winds, the topography accelerates the surface winds, indirectly intensifying the coastal upwelling phenomenon, and the marine air penetrates over the continent, increasing the static stability of the atmosphere. With SW prevailing winds, the upwelling pattern is disrupted, increasing the sea surface temperature, transporting continental air over the ocean and increasing the instability of the atmosphere. During winter, when the upwelling pattern is disrupted, the atmosphere is less stable, especially over the ocean, and only in this situation it is observed the presence of land-breeze circulation. The surface ocean currents, during upwelling, are mainly from NE direction and, without upwelling, are mainly from SE direction. The coupled model was an important tool for studying the characteristics of the atmospheric boundary layer in the region of Cabo Frio, because, in this region, the atmospheric circulation, topography, ocean circulation and the spatial and temporal evolution of the sea surface temperature are strongly interrelated.

Bibliography: pages 68-74.South African oceanographers were engaged in collecting hydrographic and biological sea truth data in order to calibrate the CZCS measurements from the NIMBUS-7 satellite over the Benguela Upwelling region and along the east coast of South Africa during the period 1978 to 1981. A brief overview of the CZCS validation programme and its application to the South African marine environment is given, followed by an analysis of level-Til CZCS data obtained from NASA for the region 10° - 60°S, and 10° - 100°E. This area includes the Benguela Upwelling system on the continental shelf, and the Southern Ocean with the Subtropical Convergence zone south of Africa. High annual values (5mg m⁻³) of chlorophyll occurred in the Benguela shelf region, typical of other upwelling systems in the world ocean, and the data shows a strong interannual signal in the seven years of composited data from 1978-1985, with maxima in 1982. Two distinct regimes were found in the Benguela Upwelling system, the seasonal variations of pigment concentration in the northern and southern Benguela regions being out of phase. In the Southern Ocean, the values of chlorophyll were generally low (0.15mg m⁻³) with the strongest signal (1.5mg m⁻³) found at the southern border of the Agulhas retroflection region and its frontal boundary with the colder subantarctic water to the south. The high values of chlorophyll found in this region are ten times the typical open Southern Ocean values. There is a clear interannual signal in the CZCS data for this Subtropi£al Convergence region, which has a low value in 1979 rising to a maximum in 1981 and then decreasing to another low value in 1985. There appears to be no pronounced seasonal variation in the Subtropical Convergence data. Reasons for the strong signal in the surface chlorophyll concentrations at the front between the Agulhas Return Current and the Southern Ocean are discussed, and it is shown that the Agulhas Plateau sets up a topographic Rossby wave in the Agulhas Return Current, which can be clearly identified in the CZCS signal. The large expanse of the Subtropical Convergence region is found as able to sustain a standing stock of phytoplankton similar in magnitude to that on the Benguela shelf, for limited periods of time. A brief analysis of sea surface temperature versus chlorophyll concentration shows the relationship between the two parameters to take the form of an inverted parabola, having a temperature window within which maximum chlorophyll concentrations are found.

Este trabalho foi desenvolvido dentro do contexto da hidrodinâmica da plataforma continental, com o objetivo de estudar a variabilidade subinercial das correntes no extremo norte na Plataforma Continental Sudeste brasileira. A região de estudo está localizada nas proximidades de Cabo Frio (RJ) e Arraial do Cabo (RJ) (aproximadamente 23º S / 42º W). Apesar de ser uma região bastante conhecida e estudada, em função do fenômeno da ressurgência costeira que ocorre em suas proximidades, pouco se conhece sobre a circulação subinercial nessa localidade. Devido à importância das correntes subinerciais, por serem responsáveis pelo transporte de substâncias dissolvidas ou em suspensão nas águas, tais como sedimentos, nutrientes e poluição, este trabalho tenta contribuir com um maior conhecimento desses campos de corrente, a partir da análise, no domínio do tempo e da frequência, de séries temporais de intensidade e direção das correntes e do vento local. Foram utilizados dados coletados no Projeto DEPROAS (Dinâmica do Ecossistema de Plataforma da Região Oeste do Atlântico Sul) a partir de correntógrafos e ADCP fundeados, numa radial em frente a Cabo Frio, sobre as isóbatas de 50, 100 e 200 m, bem como de uma bóia e de uma estação meteorológicas. Trabalhamos com as séries temporais do inverno de 2001 e do inverno e verão de 2003. A partir desse estudo foi possível verificar que a variabilidade subinercial domina o fluxo das correntes na região, principalmente na direção paralela à batimetria. Como no restante da PCSE, verificou-se um balanço geostrófico na direção normal à topografia, responsável por um fluxo paralelo às isóbatas, em especial na PCM e nas profundidades intermediárias afastadas das camadas limite. Foi observado que a corrente costeira, forçada por processos baroclínicos e pelo vento, típica da parte central da PCSE, atinge o extremo norte da plataforma continental, induzindo um fluxo mais frequente com sentido SE, nas camadas intermediária e de fundo, principalmente no inverno. Verificou-se também que os ventos locais têm baixa correlação com as correntes, exceto nos níveis superficiais, evidenciando a importância das forçantes remotas na dinâmica da região, somado à influência da atividade vortical ciclônica gerada na região pela Corrente do Brasil, com influência até a PCM. Evidências de eventos de ressurgência/subsidência apareceram ao longo de todos os períodos estudados, com ocorrência preferencial a W desta localidade.This work was developed within the context of the continental shelf hydrodynamics, with the aim of studying the subtidal variability of the currents in the far north of the South Brazil Bight (SBB). The area of the study is located in the vicinity of Cabo Frio (RJ) and Arraial do Cabo (RJ) (approximately 23º S / 42º W). Despite being a well known and studied region, due to the coastal upwelling phenomenon that occurs in its vicinity, little is known about the subtidal variability in this location. Given the importance of the subtidal currents, that are responsible for the transport of substances dissolved or suspended in water, such as sediments, nutrients and pollution, this work tries to contribute to a better understanding of these current~ fields, by the analysis in the time and frequency domain, from time series of the currents and local wind intensity and direction. We used data collected in DEPROAS Project (Western South Atlantict Platform Ecosystem Dynamics) from current meters and an ADCP moored in front of Cabo Frio, on the isobaths of 50, 100 and 200 m, and from a buoy and a weather station. We worked with time series of 2001 winter and 2003 winter and summer. From this study it was found that the subtidal variability dominates the flow in the region, mainly in the parallel direction of the bathymetry. As in the rest of the SBB, there was a geostrophic balance in the normal direction of the topography, which accounts for a flow parallel to isobaths, particularly in the middle shelf and in intermediate depths of the remote boundary layer. It was observed that the coastal current forced by baroclinic processes and by the wind, typical of the central part of the SBB reaches the northern edge of the SBB, leading to a more frequent flow in the southeast direction, in the intermediate layers and the bottom, especially in the winter. It was also found that the local winds have low correlation with the currents, except on the superficial layers, indicating the importance of remote forcing in the dynamics of the region, coupled with the influence of cyclonic vortical activity in the region, generated by the Brazil Current, reaching the middle shelf. Upwelling and downwelling evidences were observed in all time series, with the preferential location occurring west of Cabo Frio.

Análises sedimentológicas, geoquímicas e microfaunísticas realizadas em um testemunho coletado na plataforma interna de Cabo Frio, permitiram a compreensão das variações de produtividade nos últimos 9.300 anos. Quatro fases foram reconhecidas, influenciadas por flutuações do nível relativo do mar e mudanças climáticas que ocorreram na margem continental sudeste Brasileira, durante o Holoceno. Antes de 7,0 kanos cal A.P., os dados apontam para baixa produtividade, sob condições de nível relativo do mar mais baixo e clima úmido. Entre 7,0 e 5,8 kanos cal A.P., há aumento na produtividade oceânica, num cenário de nível do mar em ascensão e condições climáticas mais úmidas. Produtividade similar à fase anterior marca o período de 5,8 a 2,8 kanos cal A.P., em condições de descida do nível do mar e clima mais seco. De 2,8 kanos cal A.P. até o presente, aumento na produtividade oceânica e condições hidrodinâmicas intensas, associados ao estabelecimento do processo de ressurgência em Cabo Frio, quando condições climáticas atuais são estabelecidas. A partir de 2,5 kanos cal A.P., observa-se intensificação do processo de ressurgência, controlada pela ação conjunta de ventos de NE mais intensos (associados a eventos El-niño e/ou a posição da Zona de Convergência Intertropical - ZCIT), meandramento da Corrente do Brasil - CB - e configuração atual da linha de costa.Sedimentological, geochemical and benthic foraminifera analyses carried out on a core sampled from the inner shelf of Cabo Frio, enabled us to identify different four productivity regimes related to sea-level fluctuations and/or climatic changes, that occurred in the southeastern Brazilian continental margin, during the last 9.3 kyr cal BP. Prior to 7.0 kyr cal BP, a lower productivity and less intense hydrodynamic regime occurred at lower sea levels and under drier climatic conditions. Between 7.0 and 5.8 kyr cal BP, relatively stronger local oceanic circulation and relatively high productivity were observed, in a scenario of rising sea levels and more humid conditions. From 5.8 to 2.8 kyr cal BP, bottom currents weakened and input of nutrients increased, with productivity levels similar to the previous phase at lower sea level and in a drier climate. From 2.8 kyr cal BP up to the present, stronger hydrodynamic conditions and a higher productivity regime linked to the establishment of the upwelling process in Cabo Frio. From 2.5 kyr cal BP to the present, upwelling enhancement has been recognized, resulting from the combined action of NE winds (related to El- Niño events and/or the Intertropical Convergence Zone - ITCZ - position), the meandering pattern of the Brazilian Current - BC - and present day coastline configuration.

Cette thèse avait pour objectif de mieux comprendre le rôle de la dynamique océanique et atmosphérique régionale sur le fonctionnement de l’upwelling ouest africain. La première partie est consacrée à l’étude du cycle saisonnier, de la dynamique et de l’origine des masses d’eau du courant de bord qui alimente l’upwelling ouest africain. Ce courant est situé sur la pente continentale et est dénommé WABC (pour West African poleward Boundary Current en anglais). Son lien avec la circulation à l’échelle de l’Atlantique Tropical Nord Est (ATNE) est aussi étudié. Les résultats obtenus sont principalement basés sur des sorties de simulations numériques avec une configuration régionale du modèle NEMO (TROP025). Le WABC est constitué d’un sous courant dirigé vers le pôle (communément appelé Poleward Under Current (PUC) en anglais) et d’un courant de surface également dirigé vers le pôle et fréquemment appelé courant de Mauritanie (Mauritania Current en anglais ; MC). Le WABC est présent quasiment toute l’année. Il est visible en surface (en l’absence du jet d’upwelling côtier) et s’étend jusqu’à ~ 250 m de profondeur ou en gamme de densité. Son transport méridien vers le nord est la conséquence des gradients de pression baroclines mis en place par le vent et aussi d’un rotationnel de vent positif le long des côtes ouest africaines. L’étude du cycle saisonnier a permis de montrer que le WABC présente deux pics de transport dans l’année : un premier en Avril-Mai et un second en Octobre- Novembre. Ce cycle semi-annuel du WABC résulte de l’activité des ondes côtières générées par les fluctuations du forçage par le vent. Le premier pic est causé par une relaxation des vents locaux (dans la zone côtière ouest africaine). Pour le second pic automnal la zone de forçage est distante et principalement située dans le golfe de Guinée. La quantité d’eau transportée par le WABC est estimée à 1 Sv en moyenne annuelle. Du fait de la variation du paramètre de Coriolis avec la latitude (effet β), les ondes côtières associées à la variation du WABC donnent naissance à des ondes de Rossby se propageant vers l’ouest. Les caractéristiques de ces ondes qui changent suivant la latitude, sont mises en évidence dans la thèse. L’étude de l’origine des masses d’eau du WABC a permis de clarifier le lien entre le WABC et la circulation dans l’ATNE. En effet, les masses d’eau transportées par le WABC sont amenées par le sous courant nord équatorial et sont principalement situées dans la thermocline (100-240 m). Elles subissent de fortes recirculations et une advection moyenne faible (~1 cm/s) dans la "shadow zone" avant d’être amenées par le WABC. Cette étude nous a aussi permis de montrer que la circulation au nord du dôme de Guinée (notamment la recirculation vers l’ouest associée à la présence du dôme de Guinée) tend à être surestimée lorsque les vitesses sont calculées à partir de l’équation du vent thermique avec des niveaux de références peu profonds. En effet, la prise en compte des gradients thermohalins profonds est importante et tend à renforcer l’advection vers le nord-est dans l’ATNE. La dernière partie de la thèse a concerné l’étude des modes de variabilité atmosphérique grandes échelles qui modulent, aux échelles de temps synoptiques, l’intensité des vents d’upwelling le long des côtes sénégalaises. Les analyses menées sur des données de réanalyses (Era-Interim) montrent que les fluctuations du vent, à ces échelles de temps et dans cette zone, sont principalement liées à l’intensité et la position de l’anticyclone des Açores, de l’anticyclone Saharo-Libyen et de la dépression Saharo-sahélienne. La variabilité du régime de vent à Dakar en lien avec ENSO s’explique notamment par la manière dont ces centres d’action sont affectés par ce mode de variabilité climatiqueThe southern end of the Canary current system comprises of an original upwelling center that has so far received little attention. This Ph.D. Thesis focuses on the dynamical functioning of the Southern Senegal-Gambia Upwelling Center (SSUC). We are interested in the upwelling circulation and thermohaline structure on the shelf between the coastline and 100-200 km offshore. Our focus is on the upwelling period (November to May). The main originality of the SSUC compared to other upwelling centers stems from its conti-nental shelf that is broad and shallow (20–30 m over tens of kilometers). The normal state of the system comprises the classical upwelling front but also a well-defined inner-shelf front that separates cold upwelled waters from nearshore warmer waters. We investigate its dynamical functioning using analysed satellite images, in situ data and state-of-the- art 3D numerical simulations. Through a fine-scale analysis of the physical conditions of the SSUC, this work poses the basis of an integrated approach to the Senegalese marine environment functioning. A first part of results is based on the careful examinations and analysis of over 1500 satellite images of sea surface temperature scenes contextualized with respect to wind conditions. Analysis confirm the regularity and stability of the SSUC dynamical functioning (as manifested by the recurrence and persistence of particular SST patterns). The analyses also reveal subtle aspects of its upwelling structure : shelf break cooling of surface waters consistent with internal tide breaking/mixing ; complex interplay between local upwelling and the Mauritanian current off the Cape Verde headland ; complexity of the inner-shelf/mid shelf frontal transition. The amplitude of the diurnal cycle suggests that large uncertainties exist in the SSUC heat budget. The studies limitations underscore the need for continuous in situ measurement in the SSUC, particularly of winds. The dynamical functioning of SSUC is also investigated by means of numerical simulations, using the hydrodynamical Regional Ocean Modeling System ROMS (∆x ≈ 2 km). Different simulations have been carried with varying forcings (climatological or synoptic wind ; fine-scale adjustments of heat flux in coastal area ; presence or absence of tides). Numerical solutions show a good agreement with available satellite and in situ observations. These solutions clarify the dynamical functioning of the system especially in terms of circulation, location of cold water upwelling but also fate of upwelled water through a Lagrangian analysis. We show in particular that the northern part of the SSUC is the main upwelling area. Waters that upwelled in this area predominantly come from the southern of the SSUC, through advection by the Mauritanian current. Lagrangian analysis also revealed the dynamics associated with the coastal area of nursery and nuance the conceptual retention scheme previously admitted. The sensitivity of the dynamics of SSUC to atmospheric forcings is modest with nevertheless some modulations of the cross-shore exchanges that may be important to the ecosystem

Ao largo da costa oeste da Am´erica do Sul o sistema de ressurg^encia costeira apresenta uma excepcional produtividade, um resultado da alta efici^encia do ecossistema biol´ogico em converter a produ¸c~ao prim´aria em biomassa. Esses processos qu´?micobiol ´ogicos s~ao fortemente modulados pelo ambiente f´?sico da regi~ao. Por exemplo, durante eventos do El-Ni~no a produtividade pesqueira ´e fortemente prejudicada em resposta a uma inibi¸c~ao da ressurg^encia costeira. Apesar disso ser um fato j´a bastante conhecido desde ´epocas pr´e-colombianas, muita d´uvida ainda persiste sobre o mecanismo pelo qual o sistema costeiro ´e afetado por esses fen^omenos de grande escala. O presente trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de se contribuir com esse conhecimento, estudando como ocorreram as mudan¸cas do sistema durante recentes eventos El Ni~no, principalmente na escala intrasazonal. Nessa investiga¸c~ao foram utilizadas diferentes metodologias de an´alise de dados para identificar a natureza dos for¸cantes de oscila¸c~oes significativas observadas durante o El Ni~no 1997-1998. Tamb´em foi investigado se essas oscila¸c~oes foram for¸cadas remotamente e se propagaram como ondas aprisionadas na costa; quais foram suas propriedades espaciais e sua propaga¸c~ao longo da costa. A primeira parte do trabalho consiste na an´alise da variabilidade temporal e a caracteriza¸c~ao das flutua¸c~oes de baixa freq¨u^encia ocorridas durante eventos El Ni~no. Essa an´alise faz uso do espectro de ondeleta aplicado a s´eries temporais longas de dados do n´?vel do mar de esta¸c~oes costeiras distribu´?das ao longo da costa sul do Equador, costa do Peru e costa norte do Chile. O espectro de ondeleta cruzada e o espectro da coer^encia foram usados para avaliar a import^ancia relativa das for¸cantes remota e local das varia¸c~oes do n´?vel do mar associadas com os efeitos do El Ni~no 1997-1998. Na segunda parte, as flutua¸c~oes for¸cadas remotamente foram comparadas com modelos lineares simples e o modelo de Brink e Chapman (1987) para se obter as propriedades das ondas aprisionadas na costa durante o El Ni~no Extraordin ´ario (1997-1998). Uma importante conclus~ao dessas an´alises foi a constata¸c~ao de que variabilidades intrasazonais ao largo da costa do Peru durante esse El Ni~no foi, em parte significativa, o resultado da atua¸c~ao de for¸cantes remotas e locais, associadas com ondas equatoriais incidindo na Costa Oeste da Am´erica do Sul e com o efeito do vento, respectivamente.Off the western coast of South America, the coastal upwelling system presents an exceptional productivity, a result of the high efficiency of the biological ecosystem in converting the primary production into biomass. These chemical and biological processes are strongly modulated by the physical environment. For instance, during El Ni~no events the fishery productivity is strongly impaired in response to an inhibition of the coastal upwelling. In spite of this fact be widely known since pre-Colombian times, much doubts still persist about the mechanism by means of which the coastal system is affected by the large scale phenomena. The present work was idealized with the intention of contributing for this knowledge, studying how occurred the changes in the system during recent El Ni~no events, with emphasis on the intraseasonal scale. In this investigation, different methodologies of data analysis were used to identify the nature of the forcing which produced significant oscillations observed during the El Ni~no 1997-1998. Also, it was investigated if these oscillations were remotely forced and propagated along the coast as coastal trapped waves; what were their spatial and propagation properties. The first part of the work consists of an analysis of the temporal variability and the characterization of the low-frequency fluctuations occurred during the El Ni~no events. This analysis uses the wavelet spectrum applied to time series of sea level data collected off southern Equador, Peru and northern Chile. The cross wavelet spectrum and coherence spectrum were used to evaluate the relative importance of local and remote forcing of the sea level, associated with effects of the 1997-1998 El Ni~no. In the second part, the fluctuations remotely forced wer compared with results of simple linear models and with the model of Brink and Chapman (1987), in order to obtain the coastal trapped waves properties during that extraordinary El Ni~no event. One important conclusion of these analyses was the confirmation that the intraseasonal variability observed offo Peru during the 1997-1998 El Ni~no was, in part, the result of remote and local forcing, associated with equatorial waves and the wind effect, respectively.

Le système du Courant de Californie (CCS) est l'un des grands systèmes d'upwelling de bord est de la planète, caractérisés par un régime saisonnier de vents qui provoque des remontées d'eaux profondes (upwelling côtier), riches en nutriments, favorisant une forte activité biologique. À long terme, l'écosystème du CCS révèle des alternances de dominance de communautés marines, encore inexpliquées. L'objet de cette thèse est de comprendre l'effet de la variabilité pluriannuelle des vents sur la structure et le fonctionnement des premiers maillons trophiques de l'écosystème du CCS à partir d'études de processus reposant sur une approche numérique. Une première étude a permis de montrer que l'upwelling côtier et le transport côte-large ont une variabilité à basse fréquence fortement corrélée à celle de la tension de vent parallèle à la côte et au mode North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO), mis en évidence récemment et connu pour capturer une part de la variabilité à basse fréquence des vents d'upwelling et de la chlorophylle dans le CCS. Une étude fine de ces vents a permis de mettre en évidence une relation forte entre leur variabilité saisonnière et le mode NPGO, avec une modulation temporelle du déclenchement de la saison d'upwelling du CCS. L'impact d'un tel déphasage de l'upwelling sur un écosystème planctonique a pu ensuite être testé. À la côte, l'écosystème répond directement à un scénario d'upwelling précoce par une productivité plus forte. Au large, les incidences sur l'écosystème s'opèrent via les processus de transport côte-large. L'effet sur le zooplancton est plus prononcé que sur le phytoplancton et est susceptible d'affecter les niveaux trophiques supérieurs.

A presente tese teve o objetivo de reconstruir a paleoceanografia do Sistema de Ressurgência de Cabo Frio (SRCF) nos últimos 12.000 anos através da utilização de proxies ecológicos (comparação entre as assembleias do SRCF com as assembleias das áreas adjacentes com diferentes feições oceanográficas) e geoquímicos de foraminíferos planctônicos, além de obter maior conhecimento sobre a distribuição das espécies sob diferentes configurações oceanográficas, e avaliar e aplicar a recente metodologia de ablação a laser + ICP-MS para análises elementares em carbonatos de foraminíferos. Para isso, 34 topos de box-cores englobando o SRCF e as áreas adjacentes nas bacias de Santos e Campos e dois testemunhos a gravidade foram usados. O agrupamento das assembleias na Margem Continental do Rio de Janeiro (MCRJ) indicou a ocorrência de quatro principais biofáciess espacialmente bem-separadas: biofácies A - talude da bacia de Campos (contribuição de espécies tropicais e subtropicais caracterizando a frente da Corrente do Brasil, CB), biofácies B - bacia de Santos (maiores contribuições de espécies relacionadas à produtividade, caracterizando sinal de mistura de massas de água costeiras produtivas e oceânicas oligotróficas), biofácies C – setor norte do SRCF (contribuições de G. ruber e Globigerina bulloides, caracterizando ambiente de ressurgência com frequentes atenuações por águas quentes) e a biofácies D – setor sul do SRCF (contribuição de espécies indicadoras de águas frias e produtivas, caracterizando uma configuração influenciada pela ressurgência Ekman). Além disso, a distribuição espacial de Globoturborotalita rubescens revelou preferencia desta espécie por águas de plataforma continental e Globigerinella calida sendo associada a pós-ressurgência. Os testemunhos CF10-01B (mais distante da costa) e CF10-09A (mais próximo da costa) cobrem os últimos 11,5 e 7,1 ka cal, respectivamente sendo o primeiro mais influenciado pela Corrente do Brasil, expressando um sinal mais fraco da ressurgência que o segundo. No testemunho CF10-01B, o 18O de G. ruber foi mais variável que o 18O de G. bulloides apresentando dois períodos de diminuição após 9,0 ka cal AP e após 4,0 ka cal AP, enquanto o 18O de G. bulloides diminui após 9,0 ka cal AP e permanece constante até o topo. No testemunho CF10-09A, o 18O das duas espécies variaram de forma antagônica com uma mudança entre 5,0 e 4,5 ka cal AP onde o 18O de G. ruber diminui de -0,4 para -1,0 ‰ e o 18O de G. bulloides aumenta de -0,8 para 0,0 ‰. Os resultados da razão Mg/Ca obtidos pelo método de ablação a laser indicaram uma heterogeneidade intra-câmara que resultou em uma incerteza de 1,49°C para reconstruções com G. ruber e 0,6°C para G. bulloides, assim como amplitudes individuais de 3,0 a 4,0 mmol/mol para G. ruber e de 3,0 a 5,0 mmol/mol para G. bulloides e diferenças significativas entre a última câmara (f) e as anteriores (f-1 e f-2) para as duas espécies. Tais efeitos foram associados ao efeito vital de simbiontes, a grande amplitude de temperatura existente sazonalmente no SRCF e a migração das espécies para águas mais profundas durante a reprodução. As razões Mg/Ca obtidas pelo método clássico foram geralmente mais altas que as razões obtidas pelo método de ablação a laser (LA-ICP-MS) mas se aproximaram e apresentaram variação temporal semelhante aos valores médios obtidos nas câmaras f-1 e f-2. Dessa forma podemos usar a razão Mg/Ca média das câmaras f-1 e f-2 para reconstruções de paleotemperatura de superfície, habilitando também a utilização da diferença entre as razões Mg/Ca das câmaras anteriores e final de G. ruber para reconstruir a estratificação da água. Entretanto, a diferente variabilidade entre a razão Mg/Ca da câmara f de G. ruber e a razão média de G. bulloides indicou possíveis sucessões sazonais, o que nos fez associar as temperaturas reconstruída por G. bulloides como temperaturas da camada de máximo de clorofila, podendo ser associada a intensidade da ressurgência. O período de variação do nível do mar (11,5 – 6,0 ka cal AP) foi marcado pela presença de águas frias, produtivas e homogêneas associadas possivelmente à ressurgência costeira cuja contribuição diminuiu à medida que a transgressão seguia e a frente da CB se aproximava, alcançando um primeiro máximo entre 7,0 e 6,0 ka cal AP no ponto 1 e entre 6,0 e 5,5 ka cal AP no ponto 9, marcado por águas quentes na superfície e frias na subsuperfície. Entre 5,5 e 3,5 ka cal AP, a ressurgência gradualmente se intensifica com maiores efeitos próximo a costa e mais restrita a subsuperfície na porção distal. A influência costeira apresenta um aumento em 5,0 ka cal AP na porção proximal e 4,0 ka cal AP na região distal. Entre 3,5 e 2,5 ka cal AP um forte sinal de águas quentes pouco estratificadas foi observado com maior influência de águas oligotróficas no ponto 9 e mistura de águas costeiras e oceânicas no ponto 1. Após 2,5 ka cal AP, o SRCF adquire suas configurações atuais marcadas por eventos intensos de ressurgência na porção proximal da plataforma e mais restritos a subsuperfície na porção distal. Isso pode ser associado ao fortalecimento da ZCAS ligado a intensificação da monsão Sulamericana no Holoceno Superior devido ao aumento da insolação de verão.
This thesis aimed to rebuild the palaeoceanography of Cabo Frio Upwelling System (CFUS) in the last 12,000 years through the use of ecological (comparison between the CFUS assemblages and adjacent areas assemblages with different oceanographic features) and geochemical proxies of planktonic foraminifera, and obtain more knowledge about the distribution of species under different oceanographic settings, and evaluating and implementing the recent LA-ICP-MS methodology for elemental analysis in foraminifera carbonates. For this, 34 box-cores tops encompassing the CFUS and adjacent areas in the Santos and Campos basins and two gravity cores were used. The group analysis of the assemblages in the Rio de Janeiro Continental Margin (RJCM) indicated the presence of four major biofacies spatially well separated: biofacies A - Campos Basin continental slope (contribution of tropical and subtropical species characterizing the Brazil Current front, BC), biofacies B - Santos basin (largest contributions of productivity related species, characterizing a signal of mixing of coastal productive and oceanic oligotrophic waters), biofacies C - northern sector of CFUS (G. ruber and contributions of Globigerina bulloides, featuring environment with frequent attenuated upwelling by warm water intrusions) and biofacies D - southern sector of CFUS (contribution of cold and productive waters species, featuring the Ekman upwelling setting). In addition, the spatial distribution of Globoturborotalita rubescens revealed preference of this species for continental shelf waters and Globigerinella calida being associated with post-upwelling conditions. The cores CF10-01B (offshore) and CF10-09A (inshore) covered the last 11.5 and 7.1 ka cal, respectively being the first most influenced by the Brazil Current and expressing a weaker upwelling signal than the second. In the core CF10-01B, the G. ruber 18O was more variable than the G. bulloides 18O with two decreases after 9.0 ka cal AP and after 4.0 ka cal BP, while the 18O of G. bulloides decreased only after 9.0 ka cal AP and remains constant up to the top. In the core CF10-09A, the 18O of the two species varied opposite with a change between 5.0 and 4.5 cal ka AP where the 18O G. ruber decreases from -0.4 to -1.0 ‰ and 18O of G. bulloides increases from -0.8 to 0.0 ‰. Mg/Ca ratio results by laser ablation method indicated heterogeneity intra-chamber which resulted in uncertainties for reconstructions up to 1.49°C for G. ruber and up to 0.6°C for G. bulloides as well as individual amplitudes from 3.0 to 4.0 mmol/mol to G. ruber and 3.0 to 5.0 mmol/mol to G. bulloides and significant differences between the last chamber (f) and previous (f-1 and f-2) for both species. These effects were associated with the symbiont vital effect, the wide seasonal temperature range in the SRCF and species migration to deeper waters during reproduction. The Mg/Ca ratio generated by the traditional method were generally higher than the ratios Mg/Ca reconstructed through LA-ICP-MS, although, when compared to the average of f-1 and f-2 chambers only, the values show similar mean and variability indicating both methods agree in reconstruction for surface paleotemperatures. It also allows the use of difference between the ratios of final and previous chamber of G. ruber for paleostratification reconstructions. However, the distinct variability between G. ruber f chamber Mg/Ca ratios and average G. bulloides Mg/Ca ratio indicated possible seasonal succession, which made us associate the temperatures reconstructed by G. bulloides to chlorophyll layer temperatures which may be associated with upwelling intensity. The sea level rise (from 11.5 to 6.0 ka cal BP) was marked by the presence of cold productive and homogeneous waters, possibly associated with coastal upwelling whose contribution gradually decreased during the course of the transgression, followed by the penetration of BC front on the shelf, reaching a first maximum between 7.0 and 6.0 ka cal BP offshore and between 6.0 and 5.5 ka cal BP inshore, marked by warm surface waters and cold subsurface waters. Between 5.5 and 3.5 ka cal BP, the upwelling gradually intensifies mainly inshore and restricted to subsurface offshore. An increased coastal influence is also detected with peaks at 5.0 ka cal BP inshore and 4.0 cal ka BP offshore. Between 3.5 and 2.5 ka cal BP a strong signal of warm water was observed with greater influence of oligotrophic waters inshore and mixture of coastal and oceanic waters offshore. After 2.5 ka cal BP, the SRCF acquires its current settings marked by intense upwelling events, better expressed inshore and restricted to subsurface offshore. This change may correspond to an intensification of the SACZ linked to the strengthening of the South American Monsoon during the late Holocene due to the increase in summer insolation.

Um modelo numérico tridimensional foi adaptado para o estudo da circulação gerada pelo vento sobre a plataforma continental da Região Sul do Brasil durante o verão e o outono. O modelo oceânico de Princeton (POM) é usado em um domínio limitado com grade curvilínea de alta-resolução, além de linha de costa e batimetria realísticas. As forçantes são variáveis no tempo e incluem tensão de cisalhamento do vento, descarga fluvial, campos termohalinos e nível médio do mar. Os objetivos são simular a resposta da plataforma a estas forçantes, comparar os resultados do modelo com observações oceanográficas afim de estabelecer a confiança do modelo, e subseqüentemente analisar os campos resultantes para ajudar na compreensão do comportamento da circulação observada. As variáveis do modelo mostram boa concordância geral com as correspondentes observações. É encontrado um claro padrão sazonal da circulação gerada pelo vento sobre a plataforma, com fluxos de superfície para sul e para o largo durante o verão, resultando em ressurgência de águas frias de fundo, e para norte e para a costa durante o outono, resultando em subsidência de águas menos densas. Tal circulação aumenta a estabilidade vertical no verão, devido ao aquecimento de superfície e ressurgência de águas frias, e aumenta a mistura vertical e a homogeneidade vertical no outono, devido à subsidência de águas menos densas, a qual causa forte aceleração da pluma fluvial existente na plataforma interna. Os resultados também demonstram que os cabos e promontórios da Região Sul do Brasil desempenham papel fundamental na variabilidade ao longo da costa do fluxo de ressurgência, incluindo o estabelecimento de jatos costeiros baroclínicos, os quais tendem a se separar da costa ao sul de cabos, mostrando uma circulação tridimensional de ressurgência, com complexa dependência espaço-temporal. Durante o outono, o empilhamento de subsidência, somado à presença da pluma fluvial, estabelece uma corrente costeira barotrópica, chamada aqui de \'\'Corrente Costeira de Rio Grande\'\', causando a intrusão de águas frias a partir do sul para a plataforma continental brasileira. A avaliação dos campos de velocidade mostra que o transporte de Ekman pleno se desenvolve na região ao largo das frentes de ressurgência ou subsidência, deixando em direção à costa uma zona dominada por fricção, com estratificação e velocidades perpendiculares fracas. Esta região é denominada aqui de \'\'plataforma interna\'\' e se estende da costa até a isóbata de 30m no verão e até a isóbata de 45m no outono, com esta variação resultando de variações na profundidade da camada de Ekman.A three-dimensional numerical model has been adapted for the study of the wind-driven flow on the continental shelf off southern Brazil during the summer and autumn seasons. The Princeton Ocean Model (POM) is used in a limited area domain with a high-resolution (eddy resolving) curvilinear grid, with realistic coastline and bottom topography. The forcings include time-varying wind stress, termohaline fields, fluvial discharges and mean sea level. The objectives of the study are to simulate the response of the shelf circulation to these forcings, to compare model results with oceanographic observations, to stablish the model confidence, and to subsequently analyse the model fields a contribution to understand the behavior of the observed flow. The model variables show overall good agreement with corresponding observations. It is found a clear seasonal pattern of wind-driven circulation over the shelf, with surface offshore and southward net flow during summertime, which results in bottom cold water upwelling, and onshore and northward net flow during autumntime, which results in less dense water downwelling. This circulation enhances vertical stability in summer, due to solar surface heating and cold water bottom upwelling, and enhances vertical mixing and unstratified conditions in autumn due to downwelling of less dense water, which causes strong downwind acceleration of river plume innershelf waters. The results also demonstrate that coastal capes and promontories play a dominant role in causing alongshore variability of the upwelling flow over southern Brazil, including the setup of alongshore coastal baroclinic jets, which tend to separate from the coast south of capes, showing a three-dimensional upwelling circulation, with complex time and space dependence. During autumntime, the downwelling wind setup, in addition to the river plume waters, set up a barotropic coastal current, named here \'\'Rio Grande Coastal Current\'\', causing the intrusion of southern colder water over the Brazilian shelf. The evaluation of velocity fields shows that full Ekman transport develops in the region offshore of the upwelling or downwelling fronts, leaving onshore a region dominated by friction with relatively weak stratification and cross-shore currents. This region is named here \'\'innershelf\'\' and extends seaward from the coast until the 30m isobath in summer and the 45m isobath in autumn, showing this seasonal variation due to Ekman layer depth variations.

Cette thèse s'intéresse à la dynamique océanique induite par les échelles spatiales et temporelles de l'atmosphère, et du vent en particulier, dans les régions d'upwelling du Benguela et des Canaries. Ces régions sont sous l'influence d'un vent local ou régional, soufflant parallèlement à la côte. "Moteur" principal de la résurgence d'eau froide, ce vent est modulé par des processus physiques à des échelles spatio-temporelles variées. La nature des interactions avec l'atmosphère, l'océan et le continent environnants diffère selon les processus. Depuis deux décennies, des efforts remarquables portent sur la description par télédétection des champs atmosphériques à la surface de l’océan. Un nombre croissant de missions spatiales et des améliorations techniques majeures ont permis de raffiner la résolution horizontale et temporelle des produits disponibles à l'échelle globale. La disponibilité de multiples mesures diffusiométriques grillées, traitées et distribuées par le LOSCERSAT,nous amène dans un premier temps à comparer et analyser la richesse et la finesse des échelles retranscrites par différents produits. Ainsi, plusieurs gammes d'échelles de vent sont différenciées et leurs signatures sur l'upwelling côtier sont étudiées. L'intensité des anticyclones subtropicaux (Sainte Hélène et Açores) module la saisonnalité de l'upwelling le long des côtes Ouest africaines. Les régions centrales des upwellings de l’Atlantique, sous l'influence permanente de ces centres de haute pression, sont ainsi les cellules d'upwelling les plus intenses de chacun des systèmes en termes de pérennité et d'intensité (cellule de Lüderitz et cellule de Dakhla respectivement dans l'hémisphère Sud et l'hémisphère Nord). À l'échelle régionale, ou l'échelle des sous-bassins (O(1000 km)), la variabilité intrasaisonnière du vent est contrôlée par le renforcement ou l'atténuation des anticyclones entraînant à la côte l'activation ou la relaxation d'événements d'upwelling. À des échelles plus petites (O(100 km)), le front caractéristique de température de surface (SST) entre la côte et le large façonne la structure spatiale du vent par des processus de stabilisation/déstabilisation de la colonne d'air. Un vent soufflant en direction de l'équateur et parallèlement à un front de SST aura tendance à diminuer (augmenter) sur le flanc froid (chaud) de ce front. Le rotationnel (la divergence) du vent est directement impacté(e) et répond linéairement, au premier ordre, à la composante du gradient de SST normale (tangentielle) à la direction du vent. Ces rétroactions océaniques sont caractérisées par une échelle temporelle allant de l'hebdomadaire au mensuel. Enfin, de fines échelles du vent sont couramment observées dans les premiers kilomètres de l’océan au voisinage de la côte. L’interface entre le large et le continent est en effet associée à un affaiblissement significatif des vents. L'extension zonale de cette transition (O(10 km)) dépend notamment de l'orographie et de la rugosité de surface du continent adjacent. L'impact d'une telle réduction du vent sur la structure des upwellings côtiers, la dynamique sous-jacente et le transport côte-large de particules est appréhendé à l'aide d'analyses numériques eulériennes et lagrangiennesThis study focuses on the oceanic response to fine atmospheric spatial and temporal scales, and especially fine wind patterns in the Benguela and Canary upwelling systems. These regions are under the influence of local or regional wind, blowing parallel to the coast. Thewind is the main driver of the cold-water upwelling and is modulated by several physical processes at various scales. The nature of the interactions with the atmosphere, the ocean and the adjacent continent differs according to these processes. For the past 20 years, outstanding efforts have been made in the description and understanding of the atmospheric conditions at the sea surface. An increasing number of space missions and major technical improvements have allowed refinement of the horizontaland temporal resolution of the products available at global scale. The availability of multiple gridded scatterometer measurements,processed and distributed by the LOS-CERSAT, brings us first to compare and analyze the richness and fineness of the scales of a few products. We differentiate several wind scales and study their signatures on coastal upwelling dynamics. The intensity of the subtropical anticyclones (Saint Helena andAzores) modulates the seasonality of the upwelling along the Africanwest coast. The central regions of both upwelling systems are permanently under the influence of these atmospheric highs and,thus, are the most intense upwelling cells of each system, both interms of durability and intensity (Lüderitz and Dakhla cells for the southern and the northern hemisphere, respectively). On a regional scale, or basin scale (O(1000 km)), the intraseasonal wind variability is driven by the strengthening or weakening of these anticyclones, causing the activation or relaxation of upwelling events at the coast.At smaller scales (O(100 km)), the characteristic sea surface temperature (SST) front between the coastal and open ocean shapes the spatial structure of the wind by stabilization/destabilization of the air column. An equatorward-blowing wind parallel to an SST front tends to decrease (increase) on the cold side (warm) of this front. The curl (divergence) of the wind is directly impacted and the first order response varies linearly with the crosswind (downwind) SST gradient. This oceanic feedback is characterized by weekly to monthly temporal scales. Finally, small-scale wind structures are frequently observed in the first kilometers of the coastal ocean. Indeed, the interface between the open ocean and the continent is associated with a significant wind drop-off. The zonal extension of this transition (O(10 km) depends on the orography and on the surface roughness of the adjacent continent. The impact of such a wind reduction on the structure of the coastal upwelling, the underlying ocean dynamics and the cross-shore transport of particles is diagnosed with both Eulerian and Lagrangian numerical analyses

Le système d'upwelling péruvien est l'un des systèmes marins côtiers les plus productifs de l’océan mondial. Le vent de surface le long de la côte est le principal moteur de l'upwelling. Cette thèse vise à étudier la variabilité du vent côtier et ses processus lors du réchauffement de la couche de surface, à différentes échelles de temps: (1) des échelles de temps interannuelles, correspondant aux événements El Niño, et (2) des échelles de temps multi-décadaires résultant du changement climatique régional. Une série de domaines emboités d’un modèle atmosphérique régional est utilisée pour simuler le vent de surface. Dans la première partie de la thèse, on étudie les processus responsables de l'augmentation, contre-intuitive, du vent observée au large du Pérou au cours de la période El Niño 1997-1998. Des expériences de sensibilité montrent que le réchauffement inh de la omogène des eaux de surface, plus important dans le nord, entraîne un gradient de pression accru le long côte, accélérant le vent. Dans une seconde partie de la thèse, l’évolution des vents côtiers est étudiée dans le scénario du «pire cas» du changement climatique RCP8.5. Forcés par le gradient de pression le long de la côte, les vents diminuent en été, tandis qu’ils s’accroissent en hiver, renforçant ainsi légèrement le cycle saisonnierThe Peruvian upwelling system is one of the most productive coastal marine systems of the world ocean. As in other upwelling systems, alongshore surface wind is the main driver of the coastal upwelling. This thesis aims to study the coastal wind variability and the processes responsible for it during the ocean surface layer warming conditions, at different time scales: (1) interannual time scales, corresponding to El Niño events and (2) multi decadal time scales resulting from regional climate change. A suite of regional atmospheric model embedded domains is used to simulate the surface winds. In the first part of the thesis, the counter-intuitive wind increase observed off Peru during the 1997-1998 El Niño is studied. Sensitivity experiments show that the inhomogenous alongshore surface warming, larger in the north, drives an enhanced alongshore pressure gradient that accelerates the alongshore wind. In the second part of the thesis, the evolution of coastal wind changes is investigated under the “worst case” RCP8.5 climate change scenario. Mainly driven by the alongshore pressure gradient, summer winds decrease whereas winter winds increase, thus slightly reinforcing the seasonal cycle

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important greenhouse gas, and the atmospheric concentration of CO2 has increased by more than 100 ppm since prior to the industrial revolution. The global oceans are considered an important sink of atmospheric CO2, since approximately one third of the anthropogenic emissions are absorbed by the oceans. To be able to model the global carbon cycle and the future climate, it is important to have knowledge of the processes controlling the air-sea exchange of CO2. In this thesis, measurements as well as a model is used in order to increase the knowledge of the exchange processes. The air-sea flux of CO2 is estimated from high frequency measurements using three methods; one empirical method, and two methods with a solid theoretical foundation. The methods are modified to be applicable for various atmospheric stratifications, and the agreement between methods is good in average. A new parameterization of the transfer velocity (the rate of transfer across the air-sea interface), is implemented in a Baltic Sea model. The new parameterization includes also the mechanism of water-side convection. The impact of including the new parameterization is relatively small due to feedback processes in the model. The new parameterization is however more representative for flux calculations using in-situ measurement or remote sensing products. When removing the feedback to the model, the monthly average flux increases by up to 20% in some months, compared to when water-side convection is not included. The Baltic Sea carbon budget was estimated using the Baltic Sea model, and the Baltic Sea was found to be a net sink of CO2. This is consistent with some previous studies, while contradictory to others. The dissimilarity between studies indicates the difficulty in estimating the carbon budget mainly due to variations of the CO2 uptake/release in time and space. Local variations not captured by the model, such as coastal upwelling, give uncertainties to the model. Coastal upwelling can alter the uptake/release of CO2 in a region by up to 250%. If upwelling would be included in the model, the Baltic Sea might be considered a smaller sink of CO2.

O presente trabalho teve como finalidade estudar os efeitos das variações do vento resultantes de ocorrências do fenômeno El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) nos padrões da circulação superficial ao longo da costa peruana, através da análise de dados observados e de modelagem numérica. É enfocado o período 1991-2000, quando ocorreram fortes eventos La Niña (1996-97, 1998-2000) e El Niño (1997- 98). Esses eventos tiveram fortes impactos em escala global mas muito pouco se sabe sobre os impactos locais na estrutura da termoclina e no ciclo da dinâmica de Ekman ao longo da costa peruana. Os dados analisados no presente estudo foram dados coletados em duas radiais ao longo das latitudes 5 S e 15 S. O modelo oceânico utilizado foi o Modelo da Universidade de Princeton (Princeton Ocean Model-POM). As simulações numéricas foram forçadas com produtos de vento relativos ao período 1991-2000. Essas simulações reproduziram satisfatoriamente os padrões médios da circulação na região de estudo, confirmando que nas áreas próximas da costa o vento é o principal mecanismo gerador de ressurgência ou subsidência. Os resultados mostraram que durante a ocorrência do forte evento El Niño 1997-1998, nas radiais de 5 S e 15 S, houve uma drástica alteração do sistema de ressurgência costeira em resposta às variações do vento.The objective of the present work was to study the effects of variability in the wind due to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation events in the surface circulation patterns of the Peruvian coast, by means of data analysis and numerical modeling. It is focused the period 1991-2000, when it was observed strong La Niña (1996-1997, 1998-2000) and El Niño events (1997-98). These events had strong effects worlwide but very little is known on the local impacts on the circulation, thermocline structure and the Ekman dynamics of the Peruvian coast. The data analysed in the present study were collected on transects along 5 S and 15 S. The model used was an implementation of the Princeton Ocean Model (POM). The numerical simulations were forced with wind products relative to the period of interest (1991-2000). The simulations reproduced satisfactorily the mean circulation patterns in the study area, confirming that the in the nearshore region the wind is the main driving mechanism for coastal upwelling/downwelling. The results show that during the strong 1997-1998 El Niño, a drastic alteration of the coastal upwelling system ocurred in response to the changes in the wind.

Doutoramento em FísicaA costa noroeste da Península Ibérica (PI) e caracterizada por intensa atividade hidrológica e biogeoquímica, resultante em importantes recursos de peixe e marisco. Neste contexto, o principal objetivo deste trabalho consiste no estudo da influência dos processos físicos na produção primária da região através de detecção remota e modelação numérica. Com este propósito, a linha de costa foi dividida em três domínios: segmentos costeiros oeste, intermédio e norte. Para cada um destes segmentos foi analisada a variabilidade do transporte de Ekman, do índice de afloramento (IA), da temperatura da superfície do mar (TSM) e da concentração de Cloro la-a (Clo-a) em termos de médias sazonais, anuais e mensais a partir de dados de detecção remota. A influência das condições meteorológicas, definidas através de padrões de circulação atmosférica (PCA), no IA e na concentração de Clo-a foi também avaliada e quantificada através de uma análise de probabilidade condicionada. Foi também implementado e validado um sistema de modelação de circulação e biogeoquímica para a área de estudo. A sua validação foi efectuada através da comparação das previsões numéricas com dados in situ e de sat elite de várias variáveis físicas e biogeoquímicas. Esta implementação foi utilizada para investigar os padrões de toplâncton durante dois eventos de afloramento costeiro distintos, observados principalmente nos segmentos costeiros oeste e intermédio. Os resultados da análise aos dados de detecção remota sugerem que o transporte de Ekman, a TSM e a concentração da Clo-a têm diferentes ciclos anuais em cada segmento costeiro, apresentando elevada variabilidade. Em geral, as condições mais favoráveis a ocorrência de afloramento ocorrem nos segmentos costeiros oeste e intermédio durante os meses de primavera-verão e, consequentemente, e observada uma lente de agua mais fria junto a costa do que ao largo, assim como níveis de Clo-a elevados. Pelo contrário, no segmento costeiro norte a TSM e elevada, devido ao aquecimento de verão na zona sudeste do Golfo da Biscaia, e a concentração de Clo-a e baixa. Durante o inverno são observados elevados níveis de Clo-a nos três segmentos costeiros, que estão relacionados com o efeito cumulativo de eventos de afloramento e de descargas fluviais, que favorecem a entrada de nutrientes na costa. Os resultados da análise de probabilidades efetuada evidenciam que ao longo do segmento oeste as relações mais fortes entre os PCA, o IA e a concentração de Clo-a foram obtidas na primavera-verão, quando padrões atmosféricos Norte, Nordeste e Noroeste ocorrem. Nos segmentos costeiros intermédio e norte verificam-se elevadas probabilidades de IA e de Clo-a quando os padrões atmosférico Este e Sul ocorrem, para as duas estações do ano referidas. O modelo numérico implementado demonstrou capacidade em reproduzir com precisão a dinâmica da região em estudo, quer a superfície, quer ao longo da coluna de agua. A análise dos resultados de modelação revela a existência de duas células de afloramento nos dois eventos estudados, sendo os padrões de toplâncton diferentes para cada evento. De acordo com os resultados, quando ocorrem ventos fortes favoráveis ao afloramento o tempo de residência na zona costeira e muito baixo, não permitindo um crescimento significativo do toplâncton. As aguas ricas em nutrientes e toplâncton são então advetadas para o largo, onde o tempo de residência e maior e existem condições favoráveis para a fotossíntese. Para eventos de afloramento fortes e observado um fluxo direcionado para o equador junto a costa ao longo da coluna de agua, enquanto para eventos mais fracos este fluxo e em direção ao pólo, promovendo a retenção do toplâncton na zona costeira. Em suma, a análise efetuada aos dados de deteção remota e de modelação numérica contribuíram para melhorar o conhecimento dos principais processos que influenciam a produção primária ao longo da costa noroeste da PI, a escala sazonal e de eventos. Como trabalho futuro destaca-se a exploração com maior detalhe da dinâmica das células de afloramento detetadas e da resposta do ecossistema a sua presença, assim como o estudo da influência de descargas fluviais na produção primária da região, tirando partido da configuração numérica desenvolvida.
The northwestern coast of Iberian Peninsula (IP) is a region of great hydrologic and biogeochemical activity, resulting in important sh and shell sh resources. In this context, the main aim of this work is to study the in uence of physical processes on primary production of the region through remote sensing imagery and numerical modelling. For this propose, the coastline was divided in three domains: western, intermediate and northern coastal segments. For each coastal segment was analysed the variability of Ekman transport, upwelling index (UI), sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll (Chl-a) concentration in terms of seasonal, annual and monthly averages of remote sensed data. The in uence of meteorological conditions, de ned by circulation weather types (CWTs), on UI and Chl-a concentration was also evaluated and quanti ed, through a conditional probability analysis. Afterwards, a coupled circulation and biogeochemical model was implemented and validated along the study area. Validation was performed through the comparison of numerical predictions with in situ and satellite data for several physical and biogeochemical variables. This implementation was then used to investigate phytoplankton patterns during two distinct upwelling events, mainly observed at western and intermediate coastal segments. Results from remote sensed data analysis suggest that Ekman transport, SST and Chl-a concentration had di erent annual cycles within each coastal segment and high seasonal variability. Generally, the most upwelling favourable conditions occur along the western and intermediate coastal segments during spring-summer months and consequently a lens of water colder than o shore is observed in the coastal region along with high Chl-a levels. Otherwise, at northern coastal segment high SST, related to the summer warming at the southeastern Bay of Biscay, and low Chla concentration are observed. During winter high Chl-a levels were also observed at the three coastal segments, that are related to the cumulative e ect of upwelling events and river runo , favouring the entrance of nutrients onto the coast. Results from the probability analysis show that along the western coastal segment the strongest relations between CWTs, UI an Chl-a concentration were obtained in spring-summer when weather types Northerly, Northeasterly and Northwesterly occur. At northern and intermediate segments results reveal high probabilities of UI and Chl-a when weather types Easterly and Southerly were observed, for both stations referred. The numerical model showed the capability to reproduce accurately the dynamics of the study region, either at surface or along the water column. The modelling results analysis reveals the existence of two upwelling cells for both events studied, being phytoplankton patterns di erent for each event. According to results, when upwelling favourable winds are strong, the residence time near coast is very short, not allowing signi cant phytoplankton growth. Nutrient and phytoplankton rich waters are then advected o shore, where the residence time is higher and favourable conditions for photosynthesis occur. For strong upwelling events an equatorward ow develops near coast along the water column, while for weaker events this ow is poleward, promoting the retention of phytoplankton in the coastal region. In summary, the analysis performed to remote sensed data and numerical modelling predictions, have contributed to improve the knowledge about the main processes that in uence primary production along the northwestern coast of IP, at seasonal and event scales. For future, is highlighted the exploitation in detail of the upwelling cells dynamics and the ecosystem response to their presence, as well as the study of river runo in uence in the primary production of the region, taking advantage of the numerical application developed.

Les systèmes de courant de bords est (EBUS) sont les régions océaniques des latitudes tropicales à moyennes le long des côtes ouest des continents. Ils abritent des écosystèmes marins très productifs en raison de la circulation atmosphérique de surface dirigée vers l'équateur qui font remonter des eaux profondes froides (upwelling) enrichies en éléments nutritifs à l'origine de la vie marine le longde la côte. Si les processus océaniques fondamentaux de l'upwelling côtier sont bien connus (transport et pompage d'Ekman), la modélisation océanique des EBUS reste problématique en raison des difficultés pour prendre en compte de manière réaliste des phénomènes à fine échelle spatiale dans la zone de transition entre le littoral et l'océan du large. Dans cette thèse, nous nous sommes concentrés sur le système d'upwelling dit de Humboldt (côtes du Pérou et du Chili) et sur l'influence des caractéristiques méso-échelles des vents près de la côte, en particulier la décroissance vers la cotes du vent (appelé "drop-off") qui détermine l'importance relative des processus d'Ekman, et donc, la structure spatiale de la zone d'upwelling. Une approche combinée basée sur l'analyse de données satellitaires et sur la modélisation régionale, océanique et atmosphérique, est utilisée pour étudier la sensibilité de la circulation océanique le long de la côte Chili central aux caractéristiques du drop-off. Dans un premier temps, la circulation atmosphérique de surface moyenne à saisonnière le long du littoral du Pérou et du Chili est documentée pour la première fois à partir des données altimétriques de quatre missions satellites (ENVISAT, JASON1, JASON2 et SARAL). L'analyse révèle l'existence d'une réduction marquée de la vitesse du vent le long de la côte, bien que le taux de réduction varie en fonction de la latitude. Malgré la répétitivité relativement faible des satellites, nous montrons que les données altimétriques permettent néanmoins d'échantillonner le cycle saisonnier du drop-off. L'estimation de l'upwelling côtier à partir de ces données suggère que le pompage d'Ekman tend en moyenne à dominer par rapport au transport d'Ekman le long de la côte péruvienne, alors que le long de la côte chilienne, le transport d'Ekman est le processus dominant. Dans un second temps, un modèle atmosphérique régional (WRF) à différentes résolutions horizontales (36 km, 12 km et 4 km) dans une configuration imbriquée zoomée sur la région centrale du Chili a été développé afin de produire des champs atmosphériques présentant des caractéristiques différentes du drop-off. Les solutions du modèle atmosphérique sont d'abord évaluées par rapport aux observations, indiquant un plus grand réalisme près de la côte que les réanalyses atmosphériques. Le rotationnel du vent cyclonique simulé le long de la côte associé au drop-off présente des échelles transversales comprises entre 8 et 45 km avec une variabilité latitudinale significative, en accord avec les vents altimétriques. Lorsque la résolution du modèle est augmentée, le drop-off est généralement d'autant plus confiné à la côte et le modèle indique une saisonnalité marquée avec un maximum d'intensité au printemps-automne. La contribution relative de la divergence côtière et du pompage d'Ekman présente une modulation latitudinale liée aux détails de l'orographie et de la ligne de côteEastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) are the tropical to mid-latitudes oceanic regions along the west coast of the continents. They host very productive marine ecosystems owing to the mean equatorward low-level atmospheric circulation that uplifts cool subsurface nutrient-enriched waters that trigger marine life along the coast. While the fundamental oceanic processes behind such process are well known (i.e. Ekman transport and pumping), the oceanic modeling of the EBUS has remained problematic owing to difficulties in accounting realistically for phenomena at fine spatial scales in the transition zone between the littoral and the off-shore ocean. In this thesis we have focused on the Peru-Chile Upwelling System (so-called Humboldt system) and on the influence of the cross-shore mesoscale features of the winds near the coast, particularly the shoreward wind drop-off, which determinate the relative importance of the Ekman processes, and thus, the spatial and temporal structure of the upwelling. A combined approach based on satellite data analysis and regional modeling, both oceanic and atmospheric, is used to investigate the sensitivity of the oceanic circulation along the coast of central Chile to the characteristics of the wind drop-off. As a first step, the mean to seasonal near-shore surface atmospheric circulation along the coast of Peru and Chile is documented for the first time based on the altimeter data from four satellite missions (ENVISAT, JASON1, JASON2 and SARAL). The analysis reveals the existence of a marked shoreward reduction in the wind speed all along the coast, although the reduction rate is latitudinally dependent. Despite the relatively weak repetitivity of the satellites, it is shown that the altimetric data are able to sample the seasonal cycle of the wind drop-off at some locations. The estimate of coastal upwelling from these data suggests that Ekman pumping tends on average to dominate with respect to Ekman transport over the Peruvian coast, whereas over the central-Chilean coast, the Ekman transport is the dominant process. In a second step, a regional atmospheric model (WRF) at different horizontal resolutions (36km, 12km and 4km) in a nested configuration zoomed over the central-Chile region was developed in order to produce atmospheric fields with different characteristics of the wind-stress curl (drop-off) along the coast. The atmospheric model solutions are first evaluated against the satellite observations, showing a much larger realism than atmospheric Reanalyses near the coast. In particular, the simulated cyclonic wind curl along the coast related to the wind drop-off exhibit length scales between 8 and 45 km with a significant latitudinal variability, which is in agreement with the altimetric winds. The higher model resolution, the more confined to the coast the wind drop-off, with the latter evidencing a marked seasonality with a maximum intensity in spring-fall and minimum in winter. The relative contribution of the coastal divergence and Ekman pumping exhibits a latitudinal modulation linked to details in the orography and coastlines

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo geral o estudo da composição e estrutura da macrofauna bêntica em escala espacial e sazonal, da região de Cabo Frio (RJ). O aspecto temporal nessa área é especialmente importante devido a ocorrência do fenômeno sazonal da ressurgência costeira. Esse ocorre devido alguns fatores físicos característicos da área, tais como mudanças na topografia e na direção da costa, e principalmente, em decorrência das condições meteorológicas atuantes no local. A interação desses fatores favorece, principalmente no verão, o ressurgimento próximo à costa da Água Central do Atlântico Sul (ACAS), uma massa de água fria e rica em nutrientes. Essa massa de água disponibiliza grande quantidade de nutrientes para o fitoplâncton das camadas superficiais, ocasionando uma elevada produção primária nova. Parte dessa produção é exportada para o fundo incrementando a biomassa bêntica. Assim, a comunidade bêntica assume um papel vital no ecossistema, sendo tanto receptora como fornecedora de energia. Os descritores de comunidade (densidade, biomassa, riqueza, diversidade e equitatividade) e a identificação dos grupos tróficos de Polychaeta foram analisados entre 40 e 1000m de profundidade e em três épocas do ano, inverno de 2001 e verão e primavera de 2002. A integração dos dados biológicos com os ambientais mostrou que as variações espaciais na estrutura e composição dos organismos foi relacionada à profundidade e ao tipo de sedimento verificado nas estações. A estrutura da comunidade também apresentou variações temporais, especialmente nas estações situadas na plataforma continental, respondendo à entrada de matéria orgânica decorrente do evento de ressurgência.The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the composition and spatial and seasonal structure of the macrobenthic fauna off Cabo Frio (RJ). The temporal scale was investigated in the light of the seasonal coastal upwelling. This phenomenon occurs due to changes in bottom topography and in the coastline direction, and specially, because of the prevailing seasonal NE winds in the area. The interaction of these factors enables the South Atlantic Central Water (SACW) to rise up and reaches the surface, intensively during the summer months. Large amounts of nutrients are then brought to the euphotic zone, enhancing primary productivity. This high productivity increases food supply for benthic communities by sinking of particulate organic carbon. In this way, the benthic communities are an important link in the ecosystem. The density of organisms, biomass, species richness and evenness and also the trophic group of Polychaeta were analyzed in a depth gradient from 40 to 1000m during the 2001 winter and 2002 summer and spring. Faunal distributional patterns and species composition correlated with environmental variables, especially depth and sediment types. The faunal structure also showed temporal changes along the sample period, especially in the stations located in the continental shelf due to the input of organic matter to the sea floor.

Climate variability and its influence on the northeastern Pacific Ocean is of concern to
fisheries oceanographers because of the potential impacts on fish production, and
management implications about fishery potential. The main objective of my dissertation
is to evaluate the interactions between oceanic variability, plankton production, and fish
production in a coastal upwelling system off southwestern British Columbia, Canada. A
simulation model is constructed that describes the feeding interactions among diatoms,
copepods, euphausiids, juvenile and adult Pacific herring (Clupea harengus pallasi), Pacific
hake (Merluccius productus), chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), and spiny dogfish
(Squalus acanthias). The trophodynamics model is forced by empirical seasonal patterns in
upwelling, sea surface temperature, solar radiation, and by observed hake and herring
biomass. The most important simulation result is that there is an imbalance between fish
consumption and euphausiid production during the summer upwelling season. This
highlights the requirement for improved spring estimates of zooplankton biomass,
evidence of euphausiid import and aggregation mechanisms, and basic life history
information for the dominant euphausiid Thysanoessa spinifera. Using observed
environmental data and hake and herring biomasses from 1972 to 1990, the model
estimates primary production to range from 250-500 g C m⁻² y⁻¹ , secondary from 5-50 g
C m⁻² y⁻¹ , and tertiary from 0.5-4.5g C m⁻² y⁻¹. Interannual and longer-term variability in
plankton production occurred, with some years favouring copepod versus euphausiid
production and vice versa. The trends in plankton production are determined primarily
by variability in the dynamics of spring and summer upwelling. The average annual
transfer efficiency (TE) of production from diatoms-to-zooplankton ranged 5-14% during
1972-90, while the 19 y average seasonal TE ranged 0-70%. Oceanic factors strongly
influence euphausiid production, and ultimately the transfer of secondary production to
hake and herring. Simulations also indicate that hake predation only significantly effects
zooplankton production, while upwelling rate determines production at all trophic levels,
from diatoms to fish. This research provides insights into how the productivity of a
coastal upwelling region may respond to temporal variability in ocean climate.

沿岸上升流和河流沖淡水都會嚴重影響近岸水體的物理、化學性質及其生態系統；南海北部的廣東沿岸同時存在著這兩種現象，因此對於沿岸上升流和沖淡水的運動規律和動力機制的研究對於認識廣東沿岸水體性質和生態環境的變化具有重要的理論意義。本文首先利用多種衛星遙感觀測資料和實地調查資料研究珠江沖淡水和紅海灣內的上升流進而揭示其空間分佈特徵和時間變化規律。而後利用三維的高解析度區域海洋模式（ROMS）建立一個適用於南海北部的海洋動力模式，從而成功反演珠江沖淡水和紅海灣內上升流的發展變化規律，進而揭示對其產生影響的動力原因。通過分析MODIS在2003年7月14日至16日的海表面溫度影像以及同一時期的QuikSCAT風場資料，本文發現在西南風盛行時紅海灣記憶體在一個明顯的上升流區域，而且湧升的冷水首先在紅海灣的西岸出現並呈尖形向東南輸送。通過MODIS衛星觀測的海表面28oC等溫度線和模式類比結果的相互印證，證明本文利用ROMS建立的上升流模式能夠成功再現上升流的發展變化過程。基於模式類比結果的動量平衡分析揭示沿岸方向的壓強梯度和非線性項導致湧升的冷水首先出現在紅海灣西岸，而冷水的楔形離岸輸運則是由東南風引起的Ekman輸運和水準的非線性共同作用的結果。本文還進一步討論了季風、潮汐和海底地形對上升流的產生和擴散過程的影響。模式類比結果表明：在紅海灣觀測到的海表冷水是由西南風驅動的上升流造成的；由海底地形引起的內潮和上升流之間的相互作用會增強底層水的上升運動；湧升冷水的離岸輸運距離受海底地形在垂直於岸線方向的影響：坡度較緩的海底有助於冷水在距離海岸較寬的區域湧升至水面，而坡度陡的海底會將上升流限制在距離海岸較近的區域。
珠江沖淡水是本文的另外一個研究重點。通過對2012年6月4日-14日在珠江口和鄰近海域的調查資料的分析，可以看出調查期間珠江沖淡水呈現兩種截然不同的分佈特徵。利用ROMS的嵌套技術，本文建立了一個覆蓋南海北部陸架區的小區域模式。通過與實測資料的對比，驗證了本文建立的區域模式可以很好的反演珠江沖淡水在不同風場作用下的空間分佈特徵。基於模式類比結果的動量平衡分析表明，除了由風引起的海表面Ekman輸運外，非線性对流项項是另外一個影響沖淡水離岸輸運距離的重要因素。
通過計算不同風場作用下不同潮時的Froude數發現，在東南風和大潮共同作用下，珠江口鋒面處於超臨界狀態。這與實際調查結果相符合。進一步對潮汐羽流的分析表明，在東南風盛行時，珠江沖淡水由潮汐羽流、再迴圈羽流和羽流沿岸流三部分組成。當盛行風向轉為西南風時，再迴圈羽流部分消失。此時，珠江沖淡水羽流只由潮汐羽流、羽流遠場兩部分組成。計算海表面水準方向上的鹽量輸運發現，鹽量輸運受風場和潮汐的共同作用影響，潮汐導致的表層負鹽度通量可達到風生平均流引起表層負鹽度通量的12.5%。風場影響著沖淡水區域的垂向層化強度和離岸輸運距離。東南風和大潮的共同作用下，水體垂向混合加強，沖淡水離岸輸運距離變短。而盛行西南風時，強密度躍層將表層風引起的混合與底層混合隔開，有助於層化的建立，此時表層沖淡水離岸輸運距離增加。
The upwelling event that occurred in Guangdong coastal water during 14-16 July, 2003 is observed by using satellite multi-sensor data including the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sea surface temperature (SST) and QuikSCAT ocean surface winds. Successive MODIS SST images reveal a jet-like upwelling cold water body in surface layer under the forcing of southwesterly winds. The ROMS is used to simulate the upwelling process and explore its dynamics. The model successfully reproduces the jet-like shape of the surface upwelling water as well as the upwelling-developing process by comparisons of 28°C isotherms between the modeling and MODIS SSTs. Analyses of modeled momentums reveal that the large offshore transport appeared on the west side of Honghai Bay as results of high alongshore pressure gradient and nonlinear advections, and in addition to the offshore-ward Ekman transport generated by the southwesterly winds, the enhanced horizontal advection also played an important role in developing the prominent upwelling in Honghai Bay.
As testified by a numerical experiment, it is the wind-driven upwelling not the wind-induced vertical turbulent mixing that induced the surface cold water. Further numerical analyses reveal strong internal tides occurring in Honghai Bay caused by the local bottom topography. The interaction between the upwelling and internal tides enhances the bottom water uplifting. The offshore expansion of the upwelling water is controlled by the cross-shore topography slope: a gentle and offshore-extended slope helps the bottom water to climb up to the surface in a wide range in cross-shore direction, whereas a steep and narrow slope restricts the expansion of the upwelling water and confines the cold water in a narrow band along the shore.
A sea cruise was carried out to capture Pearl River plume structure in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) and its adjacent coastal waters from 4 June to 14 June, 2012. The cruise data are analyzed to unveil the plume dynamics. A nested model is used to simulate the plume expansion process as well. Model results are compared with cruise observations and tidal gauge sea level data. Modeling results suggest that there is a sub-tidal, anti-cyclonic bulge on the west side out of the river mouth under southeasterly winds, which constitutes a plume re-circulating. When the wind changes to the southwesterly, however, the plume re-circulating vanishes and a plume far-field appears.
The distinct, supercritical plume front occurs with southeasterly winds prevailing in spring tide. The tidal salt deficit flux can reach as high as 12.5% of the mean current flux, and indicates an interaction between the wind forcing and tides. The variation of plume stratification is studied by a scalar parameter. It is found that the stratification of the plume is sensitive to the wind forcing: The southeasterly winds can enhance vertical mixing in the whole water column and restrict seaward expansion of the plume water. Under the southwesterly winds, the strong stratification acts as a barrier separating wind-induced surface vertical mixing and bottom mixing. The plume water in the surface layer maintains its stratification and spreads horizontally.

There exists often cold water upwelling in Hoping coastal zone, especially in spring. In light of the extensive data, such a feature is speculated that the Kuroshio’s seasonal swing could play an important role. Because the Kuroshio Current flowing northward is blocked by I-Lan ridge, then partial water of the Kuroshio Current develops a cyclonical eddy in Hoping basin, leading to the cold water upwelling. The estimated swing range before running over the I-Lan ridge, located in the northeast of Hoping basin, 30~50 km to the east of the Hoping River estuary, is about 20 km. Generally speaking, the temperature drops in Hoping coastal zone occur more frequent in spring than in winter, and the magnitude of temperature drops is also larger in spring than in other seasons. In fall, some waters of high temperature and low salinity (less than 33.5psu), could intrude into the study area from I-Lan bay.

Coastal upwelling is a process when cold and nutrient-rich water dynamically appears over the surface of the ocean by replacing the warm water. The oceanographers are interested to detect the upwelling regions and corresponding boundaries but to examine the whole process of upwelling they have to work manually on each image, therefore; it increases the workload. The main purpose of this application is to automatically detect the upwelling regions, monitoring environmental changes and the study of fishery resources.
The Seed Expanding Clustering algorithm (SEC) (Nascimento et al., 2015) is a thresholding clustering method for automatic detection of upwelling and delineation of its fronts. The self‐tuning thresholding is derived from the clustering criterion and serves as a boundary regularizer of the growing clusters. The SEC algorithm is shown more than 80% of accuracy rate on the unsupervised automatic recognition of the phenomenon.
The main contribution of this dissertation is threefold. First, the development of a sequential extraction version of the SEC algorithm with a stop condition that takes advantage of the knowledge domain to select seeds and model extracted features. Second, the development of an explosion control procedure to detect the so-called leakage problem. Third, the development of a fusion scheme of unsupervised clustering validation measures.
The experimental comparison of the new iterative version of the SEC algorithm with a new developed iterative version of Adams & Bischof SRG on the unsupervised segmentation of upwelling regions on SST images from different regions of the globe show their competitiveness comparing to other conventional SRG methods.

Pelagic ecosystems are inherently complex in coastal inlets where they are controlled by physical processes and influenced by biogeochemical and foodweb interactions. Meteorological events are important drivers of this ecological variability. This thesis investigates their effect on the plankton dynamics of Lunenburg Bay, an inlet on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia (Canada). In this region, meteorological events are dominated by upwelling in summer, which are a dominant source of flushing and nutrient variability for the inlets. Despite these events, which induce phytoplankton blooms in other regions, the concentration of phytoplankton as chlorophyll remains relatively low throughout the summer in Lunenburg Bay. To reveal the underlying processes limiting the development of phytoplankton biomass, and therefore to improve our understanding of the factors regulating plankton dynamics in this inlet, the objectives of this thesis are to determine the main drivers of variability in phytoplankton biomass and plankton community structure, and to identify the factors limiting the development of phytoplankton biomass in Lunenburg Bay. For that, I use a dataset collected at a coastal observatory located in Lunenburg Bay that covers the years 2003–2006, complemented by a series of transects carried out in summer 2006. The dataset covers physical, chemical and biological properties of the bay, including plankton taxonomy. Two types of physical-biological coupled models are developed: a low-resolution box model of Lunenburg Bay with steady-state wind forcing, and a high-resolution nested model of Lunenburg Bay using the Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) to hindcast a series of upwelling events in 2006. The results reveal that four factors regulate the phytoplankton response to upwelling events in Lunenburg Bay, namely (1) the duration of an upwelling event, (2) the low nitrate concentration in source waters, (3) the flushing rate of the inlet (hence transport), and (4) the bathymetry along the inshore-offshore axis of the bay. In addition, (5) the occurrence of upwelling and (6) the inshore-offshore gradient of increasing depth influence the structure of respectively phytoplankton and zooplankton communities, indicating a dissimilarity in the processes structuring plankton communities in the lower food web. A conceptual model is then developed to describe the role of transport and nitrate concentration in source waters in controlling plankton dynamics in an inlet.
