Spanish term or phrase: ha sido muy acusado
Sin embargo, los datos de la encuesta realizada para la investigación en el año 2006, nos perfilan un escenario en el cual el arribaje de los inmigrantes marroquíes es más constante en el tiempo, pues entre 1957 y el año 1999 llegaron 40 por ciento de los extranjeros marroquíes encuestados, porcentaje similar a la entrada durante los años 2000 al 2003, y también indica una mayor continuidad temporal, pues entre el 2004 y el 2006 entraron un 21 por ciento de los extranjeros de esta nacionalidad que fueron entrevistados, lo cual nos muestra que la llegada de marroquíes en España era cuantitativamente significativa antes del año 2000, y que su crecimiento posterior ***ha sido muy acusado,*** por lo tanto, conviven en España extranjeros marroquíes cuya estancia es de larga duración y una mayoría cuya instalación en nuestro país es más incipiente, y por lo tanto, su arraigo es menor.

English translation:[growth] has been far greater / even more impressive
Explanation:
I understand it to mean that there was already a steady flow before 2000, and that the number has greatly intensified. "Acusado" would mean that the number is extraordinary relative to the previous rate. So some sort of intensifier is needed in order to show the contrast and make the point.

Thanks, Muriel, and thanks to everyone else, too. Turns out that 40% of the Moroccans arrived between 1957-1999, but 60% have arrived in only 2000-2006 (cut off the study).
