【 摘 要 】
This study characterizes some wind stress effects on a coastal site which is a focus of small scale upwelling having a scale of the order of 10 km. Two time scales are considered. Firstly the seasonal character of wind stress with the associated sea temperature fluctuations is described. Secondly individual wind events of a few days duration are characterized by extent and rate of upwelling and offshore displacement of the thermocline front. Data on the thermocline displacement is fitted to Csanady's model of coastal upwelling, which leads to the prediction of upwelling parameters for given wind events.
