Description The variations in water mass characteristics of temperature, salinity and density over
12 year period (1986-1997) from a near-shore station are presented to delineate the
phenomenon of upwelling off Visakhapatnam. The spatial variation in the parameters during
upwelling months for a limited period was examined to justify the selection of a near-shore
station for predicting the status of upwelling. A simple model to predict upwelling status
based on Knudsen's hydrographic calculations and La Fond's classification of water masses
was constructed and the algorithm presented. The utility of the model is briefly mentioned.
