  1. Curl of wind stress ASD run ROMS nRCM-0.5deg From QuikSCAT 10-7Nm-3 10-7Nm-3 10-7Nm-3 JJA wind stress curl and Ekman pumping, Benguela region. Wind stress curl highest in ASD run compared to an nrcm simulation, and both are higher than QuikSCAT. However QuikSCAT does not measure within 25-50km of coast. Ekman pumping ROMS nRCM-0.5deg ASD run mday-1 mday-1

  2. Top: Ekman pumping, JJA mean ROMS nRCM-0.5deg ASD run mday-1 mday-1 Bottom: Vertical velocity at 45m, JJA mean Stronger wind stress curl and Ekman pumping in ASD run drives stronger vertical velocities (at 45m, just below mixed layer). ROMS nRCM-0.5deg ASD run mday-1 mday-1
