  abstract = {{A} new methodology to derive an {SST}-based upwelling index was based on a rigorous spatial analysis of satellite {SST} fields and their variability, by referring to previous works, from {W}ooster et al. (1976) to {S}antos et al. (2011). {T}he data was precautiously processed by considering data quality aspects (including cloud cover) and the best way to derive accurate coastal {SST} and its offshore reference. {T}he relevance of the developed index was evaluated by comparing its spatial and seasonal consistency against two wind-based indices as well as with the previous {SST}-based indices, largely superseding these later ones in term of overall quality and spatio-temporal dynamic. {O}ur index adequately describes the spatio-temporal variability of the coastal upwelling intensity in the {C}anary {C}urrent upwelling system and has the advantage of describing complementary aspects of the coastal dynamics of the region that were not covered by {E}kman-based indices. {T}he proposed methodology is generic and can be easily applicable to various coastal upwelling systems, especially the four major eastern boundary upwelling ecosystems.},
