Oceanography and fisheries of the Canary Current Iberian region of the Eastern North Atlantic
55 pages, 4 tables, 15 figures The eastern boundary of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre extends from the northern tip of the Iberian Peninsula at 43°N to south of Senegal at about 10°N, approximately the range of displacement of the Trade wind band (Fig. 23.1). It is one of the four major eastern...
