Coastal Upwelling Front Detection off Central Chile (36.5–37°S) and Spatio-Temporal Variability of Frontal Characteristics

In Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems, cold coastal waters are separated from offshore by a strong cross-shore Sea Surface Temperature (SST) gradient zone. This upwelling front plays a major role for the coastal ecosystem. This paper proposes a method to automatically identify the front and define i...
