概述了西伊比利亚近海的冬季环流和上层海洋结构。重点是冬季坡流、锋和中尺度涡流，以及这些局部特征与该地区大尺度环流的联系。卫星海面温度；来自高度测量的海面高程数据；主要在冬季获得的跨岸和经向水文调查和海流计观测，用于说明冬季上层海洋结构的特征以及伊比利亚极地洋流的产生和演变。给出了西伊比利亚盆地规模的冬季上层海洋环流的示意图/假设模型，该模型试图系统化和解决现有环流方案以及用于描述该地区观测到的特征的概念和术语中的某些模糊性。 (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
An overview of the winter circulation and upper ocean structure offshore of Western Iberia is presented. The focus is on winter slope currents, fronts and mesoscale eddies, as well as on the connection of these local features to the large scale circulation of the region. Satellite sea surface temperature; sea surface elevation data from altimetry; cross-shore and meridional hydrological surveys and current meter observations, mainly obtained during winter periods, are used to illustrate features of the winter upper ocean structure and of the generation and evolution of the Iberia Poleward Current. A schematic/hypothetical model of winter upper ocean circulation on the scale of the Western Iberian Basin is given which attempts to systematize and resolve certain ambiguities in the existing circulation schemes and in the concepts and terminology used to describe observed features in the area.
