The English Channel is a biogeographical transition zone, situated between warm temperate and boreal marine province. This status enables the early detection of trends in the oceanic climate regime between two provinces. Mean SST maps for February (coldest month of the year) and August (warmest month of the year), from 1986 to 2006, were produced.

Temperature and salinity were measured in situ at sea surface and at bottom during the CGFS surveys from 1997 to 2006. Temperature and salinity were measured using a probe. These surveys give illustration of autumn conditions.
