Abstract Coastal upwelling helps set the physical context for
marine ecosystems, and upwelling zones are among the
most productive regions of the global ocean. Unlike earlier
models, two state-of-the-art climate models exhibit little
change during the next century in the magnitude and
seasonality of coastal upwelling, but climate models are still
probably not sufficiently developed (for example, they
underestimate interdecadal variability in upwelling) to
provide valid projections of this key component of the
coastal environment.
