Which distribution pattern results when coastal upwelling intersects with a subtropical gyre system?

💡 Explanation

When coastal upwelling intersects with a subtropical gyre, nutrient transport to the surface occurs because the gyre circulation draws upwelling waters offshore, stimulating phytoplankton blooms. Therefore enhanced phytoplankton growth near the coast results, rather than increased concentrations in the gyre center which is nutrient-poor, or reversed salinity/temperature gradients.
