Bays in coastal upwelling regions are physically driven and biochemically fueled by their
interaction with open coastal waters. Wind-driven flow over the shelf imposes a circulation in …

Time series of wind-stress data, AVHRR and SeaWiFS satellite images, and in situ data from
seven cruises are used to assemble a coherent picture of the hydrographic variability of the …

The upwelling systems of the eastern boundaries of the world's oceans are susceptible to
harmful algal blooms (HABs) because they are highly productive, nutrient-rich environments …

Infections associated with Vibrio parahaemolyticus on the coast of Galicia (in northwestern
Spain) were reported to be linked to large outbreaks of illness during 1999 and 2000. Little …

We observed significant changes in the dissolved oxygen content and the fluorescence of
humic substances and dissolved aromatic amino acids after 24 h light and dark incubations …

This paper reviews relevant investigations conducted in the Western Iberia Upwelling
Ecosystem (WIUE) on the dynamics of small pelagic fish (SPF), its relationship to climate …

The extension and intensity of the upwelling season in the NW Iberian Peninsula (42° N–43°
N) have decreased by 30 and 45% over the last 40 years, respectively. Accordingly, the …

Upwelling conditions have been simultaneously analyzed along the western and northern
coast of the Iberian Peninsula in terms of wind forcing and water temperature response. The …

The Western Iberian Buoyant Plume (WIBP) is a low-salinity lens formed by river discharge
and continental run-off extending along the shelf off Northwest Iberia. The variability of this …

Hydrographic data define source regions for deep, intermediate and upper-ocean water
types found near the northwest Iberian margin; these water masses' structure and …
