Abstract
An artificial downwelling system, for example, can include one or more free-floating, self-propelled, or anchored wave-inertia pumps. In one embodiment, the wave-inertia pumps may be deployed on the oceanic side of an upwelling front. For example, the wave-inertia pump may pump warm surface water to deeper cold layers (e.g., below a sheared pycnocline of upwelling water) to disrupt the coastal upwelling. In some embodiments, a productivity of the artificial downwelling system can be controlled through remote telemetry, telecommand, and/or electromechanical tools. The artificial downwelling system may, for example, be powered by wave energy, and can be controlled using a telemechanical system powered by wind energy, and/or solar panel energy backed by electrical batteries.
