Short summary
We used a high-resolution model to study how ocean currents and waves, especially coastal trapped waves, control nitrate variability in the Gabon-Congo upwelling system. This nutrient availability drives seasonal marine productivity, with the Congo River also adding significant nitrate. Our research clarifies the complex interplay of physical and biological factors, offering crucial insights for managing regional fisheries and assessing climate change impacts on this vital ecosystem.
