TL;DR: The Benguela system is one of the four major eastern boundary upwelling systems of the world as discussed by the authors, and the role of predation has been neglected, as has the fish yield relative to photosynthesis.

TL;DR: In this article, the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is used to systematically investigate equilibrium conditions and seasonal variations of the Benguela system at a resolution of 9 km, including both the large-scale offshore flow regime and the economically and ecologically important coastal upwelling regime.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is used to simulate the Benguela system in its entirety, which successfully simulates the cool coastal upwelling regime and its division into seven distinctly separate cells, as well as the large scale offshore regime and the respective seasonal fluctuations.

TL;DR: Using in situ sea surface temperature (SST) data and MODIS/TERRA SST, the monthly AVHRR Pathfinder (version 5.0 and 5.2) SST product was evaluated within the four main Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical analysis using a high-resolution model is used to investigate the mesoscale activity and the coastal upwelling generation processes, showing good agreement between these data sets.
