Geostrophic flows control future changes of oceanic eastern boundary upwelling

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 30 January 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01588-y

Oceanic eastern boundary currents are regions with strong upwelling, which is expected to intensify with global warming through enhanced winds. Here the authors show that geostrophic flow dominates over wind effects on long-term upwelling changes for the major eastern boundary upwelling systems.
