For 10 points, name this ocean current off the coast of Peru, named for the German meteorologist who discovered it.
About 900 kilometers wide and transporting only about 350 to 700 billion cubic feet of water per second, it is similar to its analog in the North Pacific. Extensive upwelling results in an abundance of nutrients at the surface, making for excellent fishing grounds. This upwelling only intensifies the cold flow that results from this phenomenon, which increases the aridity of the coasts of Chile and Ecuador.
