Upwelling is the ocean process that brings vital nutrients from the bottom to the surface waters. It occurs when cold, nutrient-rich waters from the deep ocean rise to the surface, fueling the growth of phytoplankton and supporting a vibrant marine ecosystem.
Sunlight warms the waters on the ocean surface. Some heat energy is transferred to cooler waters through convection.
Surface waters make up about 10% of all the water in the ocean.
Ctenophores are found in most marine environments: from polar waters to the tropics; near coasts and in mid-ocean; from the surface waters to the ocean depths.
