Based on the monthly Satellite remote sensing Sea Surface Temperature (SST) from 2002 to 2013, Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis was accomplished to analyze the temporal and spatial characteristics of upwelling over Zhoushan Coastal region. The effect of wind on upwelling was analyzed by using sea surface wind field data. The result showed that first two modal variance contribution rates are 71.66% and 16.55% in July, 87.03% and 7.3% in August respectively, all of which pass the North test. The Zhoushan coastal upwelling displayed inter-annual variability and had a negative relationship to the meridional wind. The prevailing southeast wind in summer was conductive to development of the upwelling. According to the calculation of Ekman Volume transport, the order of mean velocity of upwelling in Zhoushan coastal region are respectively 3.0×10^-5 m/s and 1.5×10^-5 m/s in July and August. The upwelling in August was significantly weaker than in July, which was relevant with a significant low SST anomaly observed in August.
