Upwelling index computed from 1-degree FNMOC sea level pressure 45 degrees of latitude. The coastal Upwelling Index is an index of the strength of the wind forcing on the ocean which has been used in many studies of the effects of ocean variability on the reproductive and recruitment success of many fish and invertebrate species.
