title: Upwelling
Description: These data represent regions of high and low cold water upwelling processes which bring nutrient-rich waters to the surface. The data were developed by The Nature Conservancy using NOAA sea surface temperature data from 1998-2004 for use in the 2005 and 2013 Pacific Northwest Ecoregional Assessment. High and low upwelling were calculated by adding or subtracting 1.5 standard deviations from the average surface temperature of each area.
