title: The Black Sea Upwelling System: Analysis on the Western Shallow Waters
abstract: Upwelling is due to the combined effect of the coastal divergence process and Ekman pumping. The author aims to investigate two new upwelling indices for the Black Sea, derived from climate reanalysis models and the following in situ data: (a) the Coastal Upwelling Transport Index (CUTI) that estimates the rate of vertical volume transport and (b) the Biologically Effective Upwelling Transport Index (BEUTI) that estimates the nitrate flux into the surface mixed layer.
