A numerical experiment was carried out on thee wind-induced coastal upwelling along the east coast of Korea. Only the variability in coastline geometry is considered and an attempt is made to correlate it with the observation previously performed. In order to approximate the coastline geometry as closely as possible, the finite element method with linear triangular grid is employed. Among several fixed locations of upwelling center found in the model, the one in the southeastern coastal area seems to be just what has been observed most frequently.
