The results show that SST and upwelling intensity in the sea area have significant (p &lt; 0.05) rising trends in the last 21 years. The CHL shows an upward but insignificant trend, which is affected simultaneously by the rise in SST and the enhancement of upwelling. Further analysis reveals that the interannual variations in upwelling are robustly related to the wind fields\u2019 variations in the coastal region. A clockwise\/counter-clockwise anomaly in the wind field centered on the NESCS facilitates alongshore\/onshore winds near the Guangdong coast, which can strengthen\/weaken coastal upwelling. Based on the correlation between wind field variations and large-scale climate factors, long-term variations in the upwelling intensity can be primarily predicted by the Oceanic Ni\u00f1o Index.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16071282","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,5]],"date-time":"2024-04-05T08:27:52Z","timestamp":1712305672000},"page":"1282","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Interannual Variations in the Summer Coastal Upwelling in the Northeastern South China Sea"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Wuyang","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography, Guangdong Provincial Observation and Research Station for Marine Ecosystem in the Typical Upwelling Area, Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Operational Oceanography, Guangdong Key Laboratory of Ocean Remote Sensing, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 511458, China"},{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}]},{"given":"Yifeng","family":"Tong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography, Guangdong Provincial Observation and Research Station for Marine Ecosystem in the Typical Upwelling Area, Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Operational Oceanography, Guangdong Key Laboratory of Ocean Remote Sensing, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 511458, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography, Guangdong Provincial Observation and Research Station for Marine Ecosystem in the Typical Upwelling Area, Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Operational Oceanography, Guangdong Key Laboratory of Ocean Remote Sensing, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 511458, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9778-091X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yang","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography, MOE, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9373-1122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Junmin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography, Guangdong Provincial Observation and Research Station for Marine Ecosystem in the Typical Upwelling Area, Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Operational Oceanography, Guangdong Key Laboratory of Ocean Remote Sensing, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 511458, China"},{"name":"Sanya Institute of Ocean Eco-Environmental Engineering, Sanya 572000, China"}]},{"given":"Wenhua","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}]},{"given":"Ping","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography, Guangdong Provincial Observation and Research Station for Marine Ecosystem in the Typical Upwelling Area, Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Operational Oceanography, Guangdong Key Laboratory of Ocean Remote Sensing, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 511458, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"653","DOI":"10.1002\/2015RG000505","article-title":"Progress on upwelling studies in the China seas","volume":"54","author":"Hu","year":"2016","journal-title":"Rev.
