| Summary: | Regular sea temperature measurements have been made since 1975 at Gravelines (French coast of the Southern Bight of the North Sea) within the framework of a research programme aimed at monitoring the in£uence of the thermal discharge of a nuclear power plant. The sampling has yielded a 28-year time-series. Pluriannual natural £uctuations of temperature show cyclic patterns and long-term trends in good accordance with global climatic changes as revealed by the NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) annual index. |
