CONCLUSIONS. In this paper, we have introduced new upwelling indices—CUTI, BEUTI and
I. BIOLOGICALLY EFFECTIVE UPWELLING INDEX (BEUTI) SST—that provide monthly estimates of vertical transport, vertical nitrate flux and thermal
difference, respectively, along the North-Westrern Black Sea shelf. Upwelling phenomena
in the Black Sea, remains a topic of active research, but no studies point to an upwelling
index. To our knowledge, no prior studies have applied and tried to display the efficiency of
upwelling indexes based on wind and SST in the Black Sea.
