  abstract = {{S}ince 2005, wind-driven 'sporadic' coastal upwelling events have been identified off the southwestern reef of {N}ew {C}aledonia. {S}everal studies have described the main physical processes and induced surface patterns using 1{D} and 3{D} modelling, as well as in situ measurements. {P}revious models were applied at the mesoscale without taking into account the lagoon. {U}sing a recently developed 3{D} coupled physical-biogeochemical model that considers the complex ocean-lagoon interface, we aim to understand better the impact of the upwelling on the lagoon. {T}he model was found to be in good agreement with measured data reported in previous publications about two upwelling events. {H}owever, in general, levels of surface chlorophyll-a were overestimated by the model in the upwelling area when compared to ocean colour data and several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the discrepancy. {W}e then tracked rich upwelled water using a forward {L}agrangian transport analysis. {U}pwelled waters from the upper nutridine were found to be able to reach the {S}outh {W}est lagoon. {A}n anti-cyclonic eddy was detected near the upwelling area, potentially responsible, in part, for the rich water intrusions into the lagoon.},
