Journal ArticleDOI

A study of an intense density front in the eastern Alboran Sea: the Almeria-Oran front

TL;DR: The first in situ investigation of the Almeria-Oran Front was conducted in March 1986 as part of the winter campaign of the Western Mediterranean Circulation Experiment (WMCE).
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of straits and channels in understanding the characteristics of Mediterranean circulation

TL;DR: In this paper, the amplitude of the annual water transport measured at these straits was about 1 Sv and it appears to be modulated by a significant low-frequency and seasonal variability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mesoscale vertical motion and the size structure of phytoplankton in the ocean

TL;DR: An empirical model relates the magnitude of mesoscale vertical motion to the slope of the size–abundance spectrum of phytoplankton in a frontal ecosystem and indicates that the relative proportion of large cells increases with the magnitude of the upward velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mesoscale Dynamics and Vertical Motion in the Alborán Sea

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an objective analysis technique for quantitative scale separation to investigate the interaction of scales in the Alboran sea and found that the large scale is dominated by an anticyclonic gyre.
