  abstract = {{A}lthough coastal upwelling has now been the subject of many studies. the only available dynamical upwelling index is derived from a simple relation between upwelling intensity and alongshore winds stress {I}n this study. we first present a primitive equation model simulation of the {N}ew {C}aledonia island legion to show that upwelling intensity can be limited by onshore geostrophic flow {T}hen, we propose a new analytical model accounting for the effect of onshore geostrophic flow on the structure of upwelling {T}he analytical model is shown to match remarkably well the solution of the primitive equation model {U}sed as an upwelling index. ills also a better fit to {SST} indices over the world's four large upwelling legions than the classical {B}akun index {W}e conclude that alongshore pressure gradients (in addition to shelf topography) ale crucial to the upwelling problem and its addition to theoretical models can improve their explanatory value and predictive skills.},
