Variabilité à court terme des propriétés physiques, chimiques et biologiques du Saguenay, fjord subarctique du Quebec (Canada)
Abstract Tidal variability of water mass characteristics has been assessed in the upper 100 metres of the Saguenay, a subarctic fjord in Québec, Canada. Temperature and salinity show a maximum variability in the 5‐15 m layer in which vertical oscillations of a very sharp pycnocline are observed. Pho...
