Upwelling and downwelling?
Upwelling is caused by currents on the surface. When water moves from the bottom of the ocean towards the surface it is called upwelling. Downwelling is when more dense water sinks. This process moves nutrients back to the deep part of the ocean.
How do subsurface lake waters cool down in the fall?

How is wind driven ekman transport related to coastal upwelling and downwelling?
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.
What is downwelling?
The Coriolis Effect causes water to be pushed onto shore and when the water on the surface of the sea becomes denser than the water beneath it, it sinks.
