Upwelling brings colder, saltier, and nutrient rich water from the deep ocean to the upper ocean, in turn affecting local weather, ocean circulation, and productivity. In the Philippine setting, upwelling activities are mostly wind-driven and enhanced during the northeast monsoon due to the interaction of winds with islands and coasts. Using the GLORYS12V1 ocean reanalysis, ERA5 dataset, and MEIv.2, this study investigated upwelling variability and trends along the waters of Northwest Luzon, Palawan, and Zamboanga Peninsula through Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis and computation of upwelling indices.
An alumna of the UP Department of Geography, Arra Camille D Canare is a Research Associate at the UP Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology where is working on the research project Analysis of tropical cyclone rapid intensification in the Philippines. She obtained her MS Meteorology degree from the same institution. Her areas of interest are: Physical Oceanography/Marine Meteorology, Sea-Air Interaction, Tropical Meteorology and Climatology.
The talk is made possible by the Philippine Geographical Society (PGS) and the UP Department of Geography through the Geographies of Disasters and Hazards (G-DASH) research cluster.
The Heo/Geo Lecture Series aims to provide a space where academic scholars, field practitioners, industry experts, and members of the community can talk about place-based engagements and practices. This talk is part of the 40th anniversary of the discipline of geography in the academy.
