Upwelling off northeastern Taiwan is important for exchanges between the East China Sea and the Kuroshio Current. The short-term variabilities in upwelling have not been well studied so far due to limited spatiotemporal resolutions of observations. Yin and Huang [2019] propose a gradient-based upwelling detection algorithm, which uses geostationary satellite sea surface temperature (SST) images. The results are verified against multi-satellite SST data. The algorithm is fairly simple, effective, and accurate. It can be applied to other upwelling systems of the world.
