Long-term evolution of microphytoplankton communities remains poorly studied in
anthropized coastal zones submitted to multiple stressors. Here, we investigate decadal …

We describe the physical and dynamical characteristics of a mesoscale anticyclonic eddy
observed in August 2013 over the shelf-break region of the northeastern sector of the …
