Not exact matches
Phytoplankton production is enhanced by strong winds (because they cause upwelling of nutrients from deeper waters) and diminished by weaker winds, and the scientists found evidence that trade winds were weaker then.
Enhanced north / south blocking patterns in periods of low solar activity enhance flow in the Peruvian and Californian Currents facilitating increased eastern Pacific upwelling of cold and nutrient rich water from the deep ocean.
