Abstract

The spread of the oil spill from the tanker ‘Prestige’ was analysed in relation to the occurrence of the exceptional 2002/2003 Navidad using airborne and AVHRR satellite measurements. Altimeter-derived geostrophic velocity and Envisat ASAR observations were also used to investigate the structure of this Cantabrian extension of the poleward current around Iberia.
