Mediterranean outflow and its link with upstream conditions in Alboran Sea

Abstract

The Western Alboran Gyre (WAG) at the eastern entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar can influence the Mediterranean outflow (MOW) by favoring or hampering the flow of Levantine and Western Mediterranean (LIW and WMDW) waters, the main constituents of the MOW. Observations collected at Camarinal sill in the Strait and AVISO data are used to investigate this issue.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech
