Monthly Biologically Effective Upwelling Transport Index (BEUTI)

Source: R/datasets_erddap.R

BEUTI provides estimates of vertical nitrate flux near the coast (i.e., the amount of nitrate upwelled/downwelled), which may be more relevant than upwelling strength when considering some biological responses.
