Insight into anthropogenic forcing on coastal upwelling off south-central Chile

Abstract: Coastal upwelling systems off the coasts of Peru and Chile are among the most productive marine ecosystems in the world, sustaining a significant percentage of global primary production and fishery yields. Seasonal and interannual variability in these systems has been relatively well documented; however, an understanding of recent trends and the influence of climate change on marine processes such as surface cooling and primary productivity is limited. This study presents evidence that winds favorable to upwel… Show more

“…Moreover, the authors proposed that chlorophyll (which is significantly correlated with SST) is a good proxy for the abundance of food for the CS population and that changes in this quantity can substantially affect the survival of CS prerecruits, which determine the strength of a population in late spring. Hence, we believe that the climate conditions after 2006 were predominantly cold years off central-southern Chile (Corredor-Acosta et al, 2015), favoring chlorophyll-a production in the austral springsummer (Aguirre et al, 2018) and, therefore, the recruitment success and the population growth rate of CS.…”

“…The long-lasting and extended drought experienced in Chile in recent years serves as an analog for future climate. This phenomenon resulted in multiple often linked impacts affecting vegetation and watersheds (Garreaud et al, 2017), the biogeochemistry of coastal water ( León-Muñoz et al, 2018;Aguirre et al, 2018), and the intensity of forest fires (Urrutia-Jalabert et al, 2018;González et al, 2018), stressing mutually-dependent effects of the drought on Chile's socio-ecosystems. Responses from the public and private sectors generally considered this drought to be a transient event.…”

“…During last decades, an intensification of coastal southerly winds and a decrease in precipitation have been observed in southwestern SA. These changes have been related to an intensified and a southward shifted SPSH as a response to the current global warming scenario (Falvey and Garreaud, 2009;Rahn and Garreaud, 2013;Ancapichún and Garcés-Vargas, 2015;Schneider et al, 2017;Boisier et al, 2018;Aguirre et al, 2018).…”

“…Model projections indicate that this trend will continue during the 21st century for southerly wind intensity (e.g., Garreaud 20 and Falvey, 2009;Belmadani et al, 2014;Aguirre et al, 2018), as well as for precipitation (e.g., Nuñez et al, 2008;Kitoh et al, 2011;Cabré et al, 2016).…”
