  abstract = {{T}he southern end of the {C}anary current system comprises of an original upwelling center that has so far received little attention, the {S}outhern {S}enegal-{G}ambia {U}pwelling {C}enter ({SSUC}). {W}e investigate its dynamical functioning by taking advantage of favorable conditions in terms of limited cloud coverage. {A}nalyses and careful examinations of over 1500 satellite images of sea surface temperature scenes contextualized with respect to wind conditions confirm the regularity and stability of the {SSUC} dynamical functioning (as manifested by the recurrence and persistence of particular {SST} patterns). {T}he analyses also reveal subtle aspects of its upwelling structure: shelf break cooling of surface waters consistent with internal tide breaking/mixing; complex interplay between local upwelling and the {M}auritanian current off the {C}ape {V}erde headland; complexity of the inner-shelf/mid shelf frontal transition. {T}he amplitude of the diurnal cycle suggests that large uncertainties exist in the {SSUC} heat budget. {T}he studies limitations underscore the need for continuous in situ measurement in the {SSUC}, particularly of winds.},
