No references found | Sea level anomaly and nearshore temperature had the strongest relationship with interannual variation in rockfish abundance, and offshore Ekman transport did not correlate with abundance. The offshore Ekman transport [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] that results gives rise to intense upwelling along the coast, where cold, nutrient-rich water is brought up to the surface, and to convergence and downwelling in the central and eastern part of the Arabian Sea. The favorable Ekman transport generated by the southeastern winds along the west-east oriented coast, and coastal counter-current flow generated by cyclonic eddies provide favorable onshore transport mechanisms along the Florida Keys coast (Criales and Lee, 1995; Lee and Williams, 1999). |
