The Southern Caribbean Upwelling system (SCUS) is a low latitude tropical upwelling system, where due to multiple environmental and bathymetric conditions water from the deep sea is forced to the surface layers of the ocean. The SCUS is located at about 10°N on the southern coast of the Caribbean sea basin off Colombia, Venezuela, and Trinidad. There are two main upwelling zones in the system that vary in intensity throughout the year; The Western Upwelling Zone (WUZ); And the Eastern Upwelling
