Upwelling

Hi Joon, thank you for your contributions to Upwelling. However, a few points.

• The first point is that you should always provide an edit summary, briefly indicating to other editors what each edit was about. In your preferences you can set an option which reminds you if you forget to provide an edit summary.

• The second point is that text already established for some time in an article should never be deleted, and particularly cited text, without giving an explanation in the edit summary. If the deletion could be debatable, you should open a discussion on the article's talk page, and if the deletion is likely to be controversial, you should not delete the text at all, but seek consensus from other editors on the talk page. This particularly applies if the text you are deleting is supported by reliable sources. The text you deleted was the following:

There are at least five types of upwelling: coastal upwelling, large-scale wind-driven upwelling in the ocean interior, upwelling associated with eddies, topographically-associated upwelling, and broad-diffusive upwelling in the ocean interior.

The key piece of physics that gives rise to coastal upwelling is the Coriolis effect, by which wind-driven currents tend to be driven to the right of the winds in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left of the winds in the Southern Hemisphere. For example, in the northern Hemisphere, when winds blow either equatorward along an eastern ocean boundary or poleward along a western ocean boundary, surface waters are driven away from the coasts (Ekman transport or Ekman spiral) and replaced by denser waters from below.

Some models of the ocean circulation suggest that broad-scale upwelling occurs in the tropics, as pressure driven flows converge water toward the low latitudes where it is diffusively warmed from above. The required diffusion coefficients, however, appear to be larger than are observed in the real ocean. Nonetheless, some diffusive upwelling does probably occur.

Shallower, wind-driven upwelling is also found in off the west coasts of North and South America, northwest and southwest Africa, and southwest Australia, all associated with oceanic subtropical high pressure circulations (see coastal upwelling above).

Tropical cyclone upwelling

Upwelling can also occur when a tropical cyclone transits an area, usually when moving at speeds of less than 5 mph (8 km/h). The churning of a cyclone eventually draws up cooler water from lower layers of the ocean. This causes the cyclone to weaken.

Artificial Upwelling

This type of upwelling is produced by devices that use ocean wave energy or ocean thermal energy conversion to pump water to the surface. Such devices have been shown to produce plankton blooms.

At this stage, you need to either reinstate this text, or open a thread on Talk:Upwelling, briefly indicating why you deleted it.

• Finally, if you run a plagiarism software detector, like Copyscape, over the article text, you will find that is picking up incompletely paraphrased text from Mann and Lazier. This is a copyviolation, and needs rewriting, at least to the point where plagiarism software no longer detects problems.

Sorry about afflicting you with that load, but them's tha rules of the game. Clean that up, and you will have done a good job! --Geronimo20 (talk) 05:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to User:Joon22/Somali Current, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot.

• Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
• Cluebot produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
• The following is the log entry regarding this warning: User:Joon22/Somali Current was moved to Somali Current by Joon22 (u) (t) redirecting article to non-existant page on 2009-12-14T02:55:26+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 02:55, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
