Waters Masses in the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem

In the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) water masses of very different origin converge. The upper levels, between 100 dbar and 700 dbar, are occupied by North Atlantic Central Waters (NACW) and South Atlantic Central Waters (SACW) that feed the nutrient-rich wind-driven upwelling ecosys...
