Which effect on regional climate results when coastal upwelling ceases?

💡 Explanation

Upwelling removes surface heat via vertical transport and mixing, creating a negative forcing; ceasing this mixing causes reduced heat loss and subsequent temperature elevations because convective heat transfer stops, therefore sea temperatures will increase rather than salinity rising or biological productivity being affected.
