Annual evolution of hydrological landscapes identified in the Channel and Biscay

The statistical analysis used (Principal Component Analysis followed by a classification method) to identify groups common to all months and describe the evolution of these groups during the year. The data used allows for monthly tables showing the selected parameters, calculated over the entire geographic area with a resolution of 0.1 °.

This method identifies 10 hydrological landscapes present at various times of the year, and characterized by homogeneous hydrological conditions.
