APPENDIX 



Tabulation and Plots of Daily and Weekly Upwelling Indices 



The following pages display daily and weekly means of 

 6-hourly upwelling index computations at 15 near coastal 

 locations (see text Fig. 1) over the 7-yr period, 1967-73. The 

 display for each location occupies seven consecutive pages, 

 one page per year. 



The left column indicates the calendar date of the 

 Sunday which begins a particular week. The seven columns 

 to the right contain the daily averages progressing from 

 Sunday through the following Saturday. Each daily average 

 summarizes the synoptic computations at 4 AM, 10 AM, 4 

 PM, and 10 PM Pacific Standard Time. The average of the 

 seven daily mean values is listed in the right column of 

 numbers. 



The units are metric tons per second per 100 m of coast- 



line. These units may be thought of as the average amount 

 (metric tons or cubic meters) of water upwelled throught the 

 bottom of the Ekman layer each second along each 100 m of a 

 straight line directed along the dominant trend of the coast 

 on a scale of about 200 miles. Because of uncertainties in 

 some of the constants employed and for other reasons 

 outlined in this report, it may be well to consider these 

 indices as indicative of relative fluctuations rather than as 

 quantitative measures of absolute magnitude. 



To the right of each weekly row of numerical values, the 

 daily values are plotted as horizontal lines, and the weekly 

 means as vertical bars. Where a given value is so large that 

 the plotted line would extend off the graph, truncation of the 

 line is indicated by an "X".
