Temperature and salinity fluctuations in the Basque Coast (Southeastern Bay of Biscay) from 1986 to 2000, related to the climatic factors
3 pages, 2 figures Time-series of oceanographic and meteorological data collected off the Basque coast, SE Bay of Biscay, show tendencies concurring with the anomaly patterns described for the NE Atlantic area as a whole during the late 1980s and 1990s. Temperature and salinity maxima were reached i...
