Upwelling?? Late June

Explanations??

Looks like we are into a different regime here.

Nothing much in Hecate on 25^th in the areas that clear enough for satellite to see.

On 26^th Aqua & Terra satellites ‘story’ differ—nice image on 27^th --- which I interpret as what expect from upwelling and strong NW winds

Regime Change in Hecate???

Over to

Upwelling?

If 6/27 were only available image

Would expect caused by upwelling from strong NW winds

Note how differ in interpretation

Has the Thermocline set up by late June	Hypothesizing
	Here is a teaching graphic to illustrate the seasonal succession from mixing to stratified water column – latter is presupposed for upwelling—See undergrad text

	Wind chars from EC--25^th; 26^th; 27^th

	I have used winds at PR airport
	If we leave out the anomalous Terra satellite image from 26^th --- then story emerges – stronger west to NW winds (behind a period of rain on 24^th? --- leads to a short plankton bloom in Hecate mainly on East side


	No satellite available – a patch on 24^th shows some active ‘bloom areas’ === do LG
