Don't be surprised if the water along the shoreline of West Michigan is colder than last week. The strong north and northeast winds over the past few days have caused what is called upwelling.. Upwelling is when wind blows the surface water in one direction and colder water from below is pulled up to replace it.
Coastal upwelling occurs where Ekman transport moves surface waters away from the coast; surface waters are replaced by water that wells up from below. Where Ekman transport moves surface waters toward the coast, the water piles up and sinks in the process known as downwelling.This example is from the Northern Hemisphere.
