Wind-induced upwelling Fig. 14.4C Fig. 14.4A Fig. 14.4B (Text Fig. 14.4 pg. 399)
Global productivity on land and in the sea (2001-2002) Primary productivity (kgC/m2/year) (earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/NPP/npp.html)
Global ocean productivity (1997-2003) NOTE: 1) seasonal wind-driven upwelling to east of southern S. America & to west of northern S. America; 2) two seasonal productivity peaks at mid-north latitudes; 3) consistently low productivity in open ocean regions N & S of equator; 4) seasonal (weak) productivity pulses along equator Primary productivity (kgC/m2/year) (earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/SeaWiFSNPP/seawifs_npp_linear_lrg.mov)
