Mesoscale hydrological variability induced by northwesterly wind on the French continental shelf of the Bay of Biscay

On the French continental shelf of the Bay of Biscay the variability of the surface salinity distribution has been mainly investigated at the seasonal and inter-annual scales. Here, new mesoscale features such as lower-salinity lenses observed in model results are investigated by hydrological measur...
