The present compilation of papers complements those volumes by reporting observational work carried out in the last months of the project, too late for inclusion there. The component of CANIGO reported here, which focussed on the transition zone of the NW African coastal upwelling downstream of the Canary Islands, was an interdisciplinary effort involving researchers from ten institutes and universities in Spain, UK and France. This work was supported by the European Union (Project CANIGO, MAS3.CT96-0060). Peer reviewed
