Halpern, D., Knox, R.A., Luther, D.S., George, S. and Philander, H. (1989). Estimates of equatorial upwelling between 140° and 110° during 1984. Journal of Geophysical Research 94: doi: 10.1029/89JC00666. issn: 0148-0227.

The equation of continuity is used to estimate profiles of vertical velocity between 25 and 120 m from moored current measurements in arrays nested within the triangle with vertices located at 1¿30'S, 140¿W and along the equator at 140¿ and 110¿W during December 1983 through March 1984 and May--September 1984. All directions of the 4- to 5-month mean values were upward. The ensemble averaged mean vertical velocity was 2.2¿10-5 m s-1. Upwelling speeds decreased eastward. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1989
