Between 1996 and the mid-2000s the upper waters (200¿700 m) of the Rockall Trough became warmer (+0.72 °C), saltier (+0.088) and reduced in nitrate and phosphate (¿2.00 µM and ¿0.14 µM respectively). These changes, out-with calculated errors, can be explained by the varying influence of southern ver...
