[EN] A study is made of the chemical variables: salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrate, nitrite and phosphate as well as temperature and density distribution in the northwest Africa upwelling zone from 17ºN to 23ºN and off the African coast up to 22ºW in the period from 1 to 24 March (1973). his chemical variable distribution is compared with that of the cruise "Sahara II" carried out in August (1971), finding an analogy between both of them in the lower levels. The most remarkable difference is found in the surface where the Tropical water appears displced Southward, out of the studied area, and the Canary current deviated Westward having now is limit at 22ºW as a consequence of an intense upwelling, mainly constituted by South Central Water. From nutrients salts and the other chemical parameters it can be inferred the presence of a great cyclonic gyral centred at 18ºN, 18ºW with a meandering boundary between the SACW (South Atlantic Central Water) and the NACW (North Atlntic Central Water). These meanders give rise to secondary upwellings of SACW at 21ºN, 20ºW and 21ºN, 18ºW as well as a sinking of NACW at 21ºN, 19ºW. Just at 22ºW a convergence line appears, caused by an intense sinking of Canary current water
[ES] El afloramiento del noroeste de África comprende un conjunto en el que puede diferenciarse una zona oceánica entre Cabo Verde y Cabo Blanco que se extiende mar fuera hasta el meridiano 22º W y otra al norte del Cabo Blanco que se extiende a lo largo de la costa del Sahara Español y Marruecos formando un afloramiento de tipo costero. Tanto las características como el mecanismo de formación del afloramiento oceánico al sur de Cabo Blanco son diferentes al de tipo costero, aunque el mcanismo de formación de éste, influye en cierto grado en la etapa final del oceánico. El afloramiento oceánico, que es el objeto de esta publicación, está sujeto a un ciclo estaciona1 y por este nlotivo se ha estudiado en dos épocas diferentes del año, verano e invierno, para conocer su desarrollo y evolución. La primera campaña, “Sahara II”, se realizó entre los meses de agosto y septiembre que es una época de relativa estabilidad y afloramiento débil. Los resultados de esa campaña que se refieren a la oceanografía química ya han sido publicados, ANÓNIMO (1972), junto con algunas conclusiones, FRAGA (1973) y ANDERSON (1973). [...]
