Abstract

An unusual winter-upwelling event was observed in the Ria of Pontevedra during a cruise carried out on 27 January 1998. Upwelled water masses inside the estuary are observed to depend on the season due to the annual variation of water circulation at the adjacent shelf. The winter upwelled water corresponds to the water mass transported by the poleward current, which is saltier and warmer, but less dense than the Eastern North Atlantic Central Water observed in spring and summer.
