Ekman transport patterns in the area close to the Galician coast (NW, Spain)

A 40 year time series of daily and monthly Ekman transport is analysed in an oceanic area 150 km offshore Cape Finisterre (43°N, 11°W). The periodicity of the signal showed an annual component (365 days), a seasonal fluctuation (50 days) and a time scale related to passing storms (20 days). The Ekma...
