Meagre (Argyrosomus regius) move westward with favourable flows along the south coast of Portugal. Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 108770.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2024.108770
This research shows that meagre (Corvina) travel westward with favourable currents along the South Portugal coast, in response to temperature variations. This finding is highly relevant for efficient management of this important fishery resource.
Spatiotemporal variability of the coastal circulation in the northern Gulf of Cadiz from Copernicus Sentinel-3A satellite radar altimetry measurements. Advances in Space Research. 73.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.asr.2024.02.054
This study presents a generalised characterisation of the surface circulation over the northern shelf of the Gulf of Cadiz, based on high-resolution satellite altimetry data. Overall, the similarity of the results to those obtained from in-situ systems supports the use of altimetry data to support coastal oceanographic studies.
