Distribution of hydrological landscapes with a similar annual variability identified in the western Mediterranean

The distribution of hydrological landscapes is determined by a method of comparing multi-tables, to identify groups of individuals with similar variability of hydrological conditions during the year. The data used provides monthly tables showing the five selected physical parameters (SS, Phi, SST, MES et CHLA), calculated over the entire geographical area, a common resolution of 0.05°.

This method identifies 10 hydrological landscapes showing a similar annual variability of hydrological conditions.
