Short summary
In the north-east Atlantic Ocean, the Bay of Biscay is an intersection between a coastal constrained dynamics (wide continental shelf and shelf break regions) and an eastern boundary circulation system. Based on a 10-year simulation using the coastal ocean model at high resolution (1 km), the interannual variability of small-scale dynamics has been described, implying a potential significant impact on vertical and horizontal mixing in this region.
