Short summary
This study reports the existence of a relatively-low-productivity area of upwelling east of Hainan Island (UEH), which is inconsistent with previous cognition. The reason for this phenomenon is the crucial role of the Guangdong Coastal Current and precipitation. The current and precipitation would induce a high productivity, which is interrupted by the upwelling processes. Therefore, the upwelling has a relatively limited effect on the Chl a concentration in the UEH area.
