🌊 Coastal Upwelling Index Lab: Wind, Ekman Transport, El Niño and the Anchovy Food Chain

Drive a west-coast upwelling system through a seasonal wind cycle in a 3D ocean cross-section: Ekman transport, upwelling index, thermocline lift, nutrients, plankton, anchovy and fishing. Compare normal, strong-wind, El Niño, downwelling and overfishing years, with four independent numerical checks.
