Upwelling occurs when cold, nutrient-rich water rises from deep in the ocean. "The true start/end of that season shifts every year based on a wide set of variables, but the presence of velellas ...

Eddies, which form in biologically productive coastal upwelling regions, are important transporters of carbon and nutrients. These eddies trap water masses and migrate into the open ocean ...
