Warming trends in the continental shelf of Málaga Bay (ALBORÁN SEA)

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: Temperature time series from 1992 to 2001 (ECOMÁLAGA Project), show an intense warming trend in deep layers (200m depth) of Málaga Bay (0.02°C/yr). Data from MEDATLAS show that this trend is 0.005°C/yr throughout the whole century. Another striking change in Málaga Bay is the disappearance of the cold Western Intermediate Water (WIW) after 1992. This could be the responsible of temperature changes in the Málaga continental shelf.
