Bay of Biscay climatology is the synthesis of almost all in situ data for the area of the Bay of Biscay to 15 ° W, for the 20th century, primarily collected by IFREMER, the SHOM, and the WDCA (approximately 100000 stations T and/or S for the period from 1862 to 2006). It provides information on temperature and salinity of the entire water column. The atlas obtained by objective analysis has the distinction of having respected the different scales depending on the area, shelf and abyssal plain, with a variable radius of influence depending on the area. A fine scale (small radius of influence) on the coast shows local effects such as plumes, up swellings and a large scale (large radius of influence) on the plain providing the longer signal linked to the large scale circulation.
