摘要: Abstract This paper presents a brief review of the oceanography along upwelling coast Northwest Africa. The description contains information on: • Seasonal variations large-scale winds, ocean circulation and some gross features hydrography. Characteristic meso-scale patterns currents during season between 16°N 26°N. Air- water-temperature differences season. Diurnal semi-diurnal temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind current. Regional peculiarities: Canyons Banc d'Arguin.
