The current study aims to analyse the vertical structure of the ocean during upwelling events using in situ and modelled data. Additionally, the influence of climate patterns, namely the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the East Atlantic (EA) pattern, on the vertical structure and their impact on the upwelling activity are assessed for a period of 25 years (1993–2017). The study focuses on the central part of the Canary Cu...

The subtidal surface water circulation at the northern margin of the Gulf of Cádiz, at the southern extremity of the Iberian upwelling system, is described based on validated hourly high-frequency radar measurements from 2016 to 2020. Statistical analyses (mean, standard deviation, eccentricity and empirical orthogonal functions) are applied to the dataset, which is completed with ADCP time series from multiple moorings at fiv...

Overall an increase in sea surface temperature ( SST ) has been recorded over the last century. However, changes in SST are not homogeneous across the ocean. Most studies focus on the processes and mechanisms setting SST variability across broad scales and neglect changes occurring at a regional scale. So, this study aims to describe annual, seasonal and monthly time‐series trends in SST along the Portuguese coast, compare tre...
