观察表明，几内亚湾每年的上升流事件与当地风的变化无关。一种可能的解释是，西大西洋增加的西风压力产生了强烈的上升流信号，可以作为赤道捕获的开尔文波传播到东大西洋。这种解释类似于目前关于太平洋厄尔尼诺现象的理论。
Observations suggest that the annual upwelling event in the Gulf of Guinea is not associated with changes in the local winds. A possible explanation is that a strong upwelling signal, generated by increased westward wind stress in the western Atlantic, can travel to the eastern Atlantic as an equatorially trapped Kelvin wave. This explanation is analogous to current theories of El Nino in the Pacific Ocean.
