  abstract = {{T}he {Y}ucatan shelf in the southern {G}ulf of {M}exico is under the influence of an upwelling that uplifts cool and nutrient rich waters over the continental shelf. {T}he analysis of a set of high-resolution (x=y approximate to 2.8 km) simulations of the {G}ulf of {M}exico shows two dominant modes of variability of the {Y}ucatan upwelling system: (1) a low-frequency mode related to variations in position and intensity of the {L}oop {C}urrent along the shelf, with upwelling intensified when the {L}oop {C}urrent is strong and approaches to the {Y}ucatan shelf break and (2) a high-frequency mode with peak frequency in the 6-10 days band related to wind-forced coastal waves that force vertical velocities along the eastern {Y}ucatan shelf break. {T}o first order, the strength and position of the {L}oop {C}urrent are found to control the intensity of the upwelling, but we show that high-frequency winds also contribute (approximate to 17%) to a net input of cool waters (<22.5 degrees {C}) on the {Y}ucatan shelf. {F}inally, although more observational studies are needed to corroborate the topographic character of the {Y}ucatan upwelling system, this study reveals the key role played by a notch along the {Y}ucatan shelf break: a sensitivity simulation without the notch shows a 55% reduction of the upwelling.},
