Abstract
Different upwelling index calculations used for oceans were tested by applying to the Aegean Sea and compared with each other. The sea surface temperature (SST) and wind data of ECMWF Reanalysis are used for upwelling index calculations. The decrease in SST is a result of upwelling; however, the parameter that lies behind the phenomenon is the wind stress on the sea surface. The results show that SST and wind-driven upwelling indexes could be roughly used to estimate upwelling phenomena in the Aegean Sea, but it is insufficient for the precise determination of upwelling due to the Aegean Sea`s unique dynamics. To reach a final formula, the `new upwelling index` shall be improved for Aegean Sea in which current data are considered besides SST & wind data.
期刊介绍:
Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences" (TrJFAS) is a refereed academic journal has been published by Central Fisheries Research Institute of Turkey and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and published in English.
It aims to address research and needs of all working and studying within the many varied areas of fisheries and aquatic sciences.
The Journal publishes English language original research papers, critical review articles, short communications and technical notes on applied or scientific research relevant to freshwater, brackish and marine environments.
TrJFAS was published biannually (April & November) between 2001 and 2009. A great number of manuscripts have been submitted to the journal for review from acceptance of the SCI index. Thereby, the journal has been published quarterly (March, June, September and December) from 2010 to 2017. The journal will be published monthly in 2018.
