Temperature variability in the Bay of Biscay during the past 40 years, from an in situ analysis and a 3D global simulation
International audience A global in situ analysis and a global ocean simulation are used jointly to study interannual to decadal variability of temperature in the Bay of Biscay, from 1965 to 2003. A strong cooling is obtained at all depths until the mid-1970's, followed by a sustained warming ov...
