Spanish term or phrase: vertiente atlántica
I know (from revising geography with my son) that "un río de vertiente atlántico" means that it flows out into the Atlantic, but I haven't got a clue how to say it in English in one word.

En su conjunto, la red hidrográfica peninsular presenta una clara diferencia entre la ***vertiente atlántica*** y la vertiente mediterránea, caracterizadas también por la pluviosidad abundante o escasa respectivamente.
