1 mar 2017 · the Benguela system refers to both the Benguela Current, which is the eastern limb of the south Atlantic subtropical gyre, and the nearshore Benguela upwelling regime and its associated...
Benguela current: a cold, slow-moving current that moves northward up South Africa’s west coast. It is driven by prevailing southeasterly trade winds that create coastal upwelling: the rising of cold, nutrient-rich waters from 200–300 m depth in turn to fuel high rates of phytoplankton growth that nurture an abundant marine ecosystem.
30 sie 2016 · This chapter describes the Benguela upwelling system along the western coast of southern Africa and its interactions with the tropical ocean to the north and the Agulhas Current to the south. It covers the physics, chemistry and biology in the region, as well as the fishery potential under the increasing pressure of climate change.
28 mar 2017 · In this work, the Benguela system refers to both the Benguela Current, which is the eastern limb of the south Atlantic subtropical gyre, and the nearshore Benguela upwelling regime and its associated dynamics.
The Benguela Current / b ɛ ŋ ˈ ɡ ɛ l ə / is the broad, northward flowing ocean current that forms the eastern portion of the South Atlantic Ocean gyre. The current extends from roughly Cape Point in the south, to the position of the Angola-Benguela Front in the north, at around 16°S .
1 sty 2003 · Two Agulhas rings crossed over the mid-Atlantic Ridge with a mean velocity of 5.7 cm / s toward 285°. This implies they translated at around 3.8 cm / s through the background velocity field near 750 m. The boundaries of the Benguela Current extension were clearly defined from the observations.
1 gru 2009 · Intensive resource utilisation and the collapse of several fish stocks occurred in the Benguela region during the 1960s and 1970s, with different recovery trajectories in the north and the south.
