| Two hundred and twenty four benthic foraminiferal species were recognized in the total assemblages of fifty samples collected from the Senegalese continental shelf south of Dakar (down to a depth of 200 m). A factor analysis based on nineteen dominant species shows three main factors. The first two seem to be associated with temperature and its seasonal variations; they are depth-related and determine two main faunal changes. The third factor is substrate-related. The main depth-related species are: i) Cribrononion gerthi, Quinqueloculina akneriana, Quinqueloculina lamarckiana, Cribrolinoides curtus, Elphidium fichtellianum and Textularia sagittula in th coastal zone; ii) Discorbinella bertheloti, Cancris aff. C. sagrum, Textularia truncata, Nonion fabum,... |

| Continental shelf dynamics have been observed since 1974 in the Gulf of Lions (NorthWestern Mediterranean Sea), with the principal aim of understanding the sumrner circulation in this region. From satellite infrared data, current meters, thermistor chains, and tidal gauge records, it appears that the major events occurring on the continental shelf take the form of wind-induced mesoscale phenomena. These phenomena, which are connected with strong and transient coastal upwellings, are generated by NorthWesterly winds, the mistral and the tramontane, which are highly transient in speed, with a stable direction and a short lifetime. These specifie features have enabled us to investigate the transient response of the sea on about ten such occasions per typical... |
