Coastal upwelling and downwelling is frequently observed in the ocean and large lakes (Austin & Lentz, 2002;Csanady, 1977;Smith, 1995). Driven by alongshore surface winds and the resulting Ekman transports, coastal upwelling is characterized by water mass transport between onshore and offshore areas (Brink, 2016) and resulting strong vertical movement. Upwelling caused by strong wind events plays a significant role in heat and momentum transfer at the water-air interface and within the water body and therefore has implications in the evolution of the water thermal structure, as well as the transport and distribution of pollutants, sediment and nutrients in the water body (
