TLDR
The surface and upper-thermocline waters of the Canary Basin are characterised by very strong coupling between the open ocean and the coastal upwelling region as discussed by the authors, which is the true Canary Current.About:

TL;DR: In this article, a series of interdisciplinary field studies was conducted on the Canary Island archipelago to investigate the role of cyclonic eddies in the transport and exchange of biogenic material including fish larvae.

Sub-regional ecosystem variability in the Canary Current upwelling
Javier Arístegui,Eric D. Barton,Xosé Antón Álvarez-Salgado,A. Miguel P. Santos,Francisco G. Figueiras,Souad Kifani,Santiago Hernández-León,Evan Mason,Eric Machu,Hervé Demarcq +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative exploration of the biogeographical characteristics of different sub-regions comprising the Canary Current upwelling ecosystem (CanC) is presented, and it is shown that variability in coastline configuration, shelf width, coastal upwell, nutrient fertilization, productivity, or retentive vs. dispersive physical mechanisms may help explain subregional differences in fish distributions and abundances in the CanC.

The Canary Eddy Corridor: A major pathway for long-lived eddies in the subtropical North Atlantic
Pablo Sangrà,Ananda Pascual,Ángel Rodríguez-Santana,Francisco Machín,Evan Mason,James C. McWilliams,Josep Lluís Pelegrí,Changming Dong,Anna Rubio,Javier Arístegui,Ángeles Marrero-Díaz,Alonso Hernández-Guerra,Antonio Martínez-Marrero,Maricel Auladell +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report a new type of permanent structure in the eastern subtropical Atlantic Ocean, that they call the Canary Eddy Corridor, which is a zonal long-lived (>3 months) mesoscale eddy corridor, whose source is the flow perturbation of the Canary Current and the Trade Winds at the Canary Islands.

The interannual variability of oceanic CO2 parameters in the northeast Atlantic subtropical gyre at the ESTOC site
J. Magdalena Santana-Casiano,Melchor González-Dávila,M. J. Rueda,Octavio Llinás,Enrique-Francisco González-Dávila +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the long-term trends and average seasonal variability in the upper ocean inorganic carbon observations were investigated at the ESTOC Station (the European Time Series in the Canary Islands), on the basis of an existing 10-year series (1995-2004).

Relationship between wind speed and gas exchange over the ocean
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of variability in wind speed on the calculated gas transfer velocities and the possibility of chemical enhancement of CO2 exchange at low wind speeds over the ocean is illustrated using a quadratic dependence of gas exchange on wind speed.

Ecological Geography of the Sea
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used CZCS images to partition the Pelagic ecology of the oceans into four primary biomes: Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Pacific and Southern Ocean.
