| Zusammenfassung |
| CTD time series from the HYDRO-CHANGES programme and INGRES projects have
been collected simultaneously (2004–2008) on the shelf of Morocco and at the
sills of Camarinal and Espartel in the strait of Gibraltar. They provide
information that supports results recently obtained from the analysis of the
two former time series, as well as from a reanalysis of GIBEX CTD profiles
(1985–1986). The outflow of Mediterranean Waters, which does not show a
clear seasonal variability before entering the strait, strongly mixes within
the strait, due mainly to the internal tide, with the seasonally variable
inflow of Atlantic Water. The outflow thus gets marked seasonal and
fortnightly variabilities within the strait. Furthermore, since the
outflowing waters entering the strait display marked spatial heterogeneity
and long-term temporal variabilities, accurately predicting the
characteristics of the Mediterranean outflow into the North Atlantic Ocean
appears almost impossible. |
