Wind-induced ocean circulation along California and Baja California coasts in June 1999
Description: The circulation along the California Coast in June 1999 was influenced by strong upwelling-favourable winds. To study the ocean circulation and upwelling variability, the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) was setup for the California and Baja California coasts and it was forced with interactively computed wind stress and surface heat fluxes. Modelled surface currents obtained in the baseline experiment indicate southward and southwestward flow in the deep ocean areas and alternating equatorward and poleward current near the shore.
