They are both wind driven, if the Ekman Transport is moving in towrds the shore then downwelling will pull water from it and move it down and out. While when the Ekman Transport is moving out away from shore up welling will pull water up and feed the Transport. Note all directions are based on 90 degrees to the left or right fo the wind direction depending on wich Hemisphere.
