Abstract

Satellite sea surface temperate and chlorophyll concentration images have been processed using DINEOF technique to fill the gaps created by the presence of clouds in satellite images. This set of satellite temperature and chlorophyll images have then been used to analyse their respective seasonal cycles, both regarding the amplitude of the cycle and its phase. The results show a significant growing trend in the amplitude of the seasonal cycle with a value of  0.11 ºC/decade in the case of the temperature, but no significant trend for chlorophyll. Again, no significant trend is observed in the phase of the cycle in both variables.
