Analysis of the spatiotemporal evolution of oceanographic parameters such as sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll concentration (CHL) in the North Atlantic between 2018 and 2022 revealed interesting seasonal and interannual trends. Seasonal variations in SST and CHL are associated with factors such as sunlight, winds, and ocean currents. These two parameters showed an inverse relationship caused by several factors, of which the coastal upwelling is the most important. Interannual variations are influenced by weather conditions, extreme climatic events, and changes in ocean currents. The study of the spatiotemporal evolution of these two parameters is essential to understand environmental changes, assess the state of health of marine ecosystems and predict future changes. It also contributes to the establishment of appropriate management measures for the conservation of ocean ecosystems and to assess the impact of environmental disturbances.
Key words: spatiotemporal evolution / oceanographic parameters / sea surface temperature (SST) / chlorophyll concentration (CHL) / North Atlantic / upwelling
