Vargas-Yáñez, M., Ramírez, T., Cortés, D., Sebastián, M. and Plaza, F. (2002). Warming trends in the continental shelf of Málaga Bay (ALBORÁN SEA). Geophysical Research Letters 29: doi: 10.1029/2002GL015306. issn: 0094-8276.

Temperature time series from 1992 to 2001 (ECOM¿LAGA Project), show an intense warming trend in deep layers (200m depth) of M¿laga Bay (0.02¿C/yr). Data from MEDATLAS show that this trend is 0.005¿C/yr throughout the whole century. Another striking change in M¿laga Bay is the disappearance of the cold Western Intermediate Water (WIW) after 1992. This could be the responsible of temperature changes in the M¿laga continental shelf.
