“…Caballero, Pascual, Dibarboure, and Espino (2008) analysed the current system in the southern Bay of Biscay with altimetry data, and found that the maximum sea level occurs in October while the minimum is in April. Le Henaff, Roblou, and Bouffard (2011) characterised the interannual variability of the SC flows along the northern coast of Spain in the winter and Herbert, Ayoub, Marsaleix, and Lyard (2011) also showed that the signature of the SC in the southeast corner of the Bay of Biscay can be depicted with altimeter data. Dussurget, Birol, Morrow, and De Mey (2011) studied eddy properties in the Bay of Biscay using fine resolution altimetry data from wavelet analysis.…”
