Resumo

Durante las últimas décadas se han llevado a cabo varios estudios relacionados con el fenómeno de afloramiento a lo largo de la costa de Galicia que han mejorado significativamente el conocimiento de este proceso. De los resultados de estos trabajos se ha encontrado que el afloramiento a lo largo de esta costa es un fenómeno frecuente durante los meses de primavera y verano, introduciendo Agua Central del Atlántico Norte en el interior de las rías. Sin embargo, en las rías gallegas se han caracterizado varios eventos de afloramiento durante otoño e invierno que indican que este proceso no es un fenómeno exclusivo de las estaciones de primavera y verano. En este estudio se hace una revisión de estos eventos teniendo en cuenta artículos ya publicados y también se analiza su recurrencia a lo largo de las costas oeste y norte de Galicia a partir de datos de índice de afloramiento de 1967 a 2009. El número medio de días por mes con condiciones favorables de afloramiento más elevado se observó durante los meses de primavera y verano en la costa oeste (18-26 días) y costa norte (12-14 días). Durante otoño e invierno este número de días fue menor (11-18 días, costa oeste; 8-10 días, costa norte) aunque no despreciable, indicando la posibilidad de observar eventos de afloramiento durante este periodo. De hecho, durante estos meses se observó una cierta probabilidad de obtener condiciones favorables de afloramiento a lo largo de ambas costas (26%), aunque la situación más probable correspondió a condiciones desfavorables (44%). Estos resultados revelaron que estos eventos no se pueden considerar como episodios aislados. De esto se deduce que los procesos de afloramiento en las rías deberían ser observados bajo condiciones favorables, tales como vientos predominantes del norte en la plataforma adyacente, independientemente de la estación.
