Abstract
Although upwelling was found to be more or less perennial along most of the coast south of 16 °S, seasonal variations were observed for both the SST and the upwelling favorable wind conditions. Inter-annual variability is common, and with these datasets it was possible to highlight periods of anomalous conditions. Results indicated that both the seasonal and inter-annual variability between the northern and southern parts of the Benguela system is quite different, with stronger seasonality observed in the southern Benguela.
