Comparación estacional del transporte geostrófico al sur de la Cuenca Canaria

Abstract

In this work it is compared the geostrophic isoneutral transport obtained in two cruises realized in the same region with a dif.ference of 6 months between they. There is obtained the transport integrated to the whole column of water, as well as the transport associated with the central waters and with the intermediate waters. There are compared and discuss the possible origins of the observed structures. The results can be explained from the seasonal displacements of the Eastern North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre proposed by Stramma y Siedler ( 1988 ).
