Figure 7

Seasonal variations of density ( ) and nitrates (NO3) + nitrites (NO2) in the 0–20 m surface layer, deduced from monthly sampling at the oceanic stations O1, and their relationship with trade wind intensities. The wind speed corresponds to the mean intensity of trade winds blowing during the previous seven days before sampling.
