Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves wind-driven motion of dense, cooler, and usually nutrient-rich water towards the ocean surface, replacing the warmer, usually nutrient-depleted surface water. Upwelling intensity depends on wind strength and seasonal variability so nutrient levels are not constant year round.
