dc.description.abstractThe Southern Benguela upwelling system is particularly susceptible to Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs), most of which are attributed to dinoflagellate species. Dinoflagellates are favoured by stratified conditions. Consequently, temporal or spatial variations in ocean and atmospheric conditions that favour stratification will encourage HAB development. Temporally, prolonged relaxation of the dominant equatorward wings during late summer typically results in quiscent phases in upwelling which promote stratification and bloom development.en_ZA
