Abstract
Field observations are described, using historical data from the main coastal upwelling areas off Peru: one between 4°S and 6°S (northern zone) and the other between 14°S and 16°S (southern zone). Vertical cross sections and time sections of temperature, salinity, density, oxygen, phosphate, and geostrophic motions are presented. The data are not the most adequate for a good description of the time variation.
