Abstract
A recorded instance of a rapid decrease in sea surface temperature on 10 April 1968 on the north Canterbury coast is found to be caused by increased transport of the Southland Current rather than by wind‐derived upwelling, and shows that gross changes in coastal current characteristics on the north Canterbury coast can occur under particular meteorological conditions.Keywords
