Eddy kinetic energy variability from 30 years of altimetry in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science
Mesoscale activity plays a central role in ocean variability, substantially influencing the mixing of biogeophysical tracers, such as heat and carbon, and driving changes in ecosystems.

The crustal domains of the Alboran Basin (Western Mediterranean) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Alboran Basin in the westernmost Mediterranean hosts the orogenic boundary between the Iberian and African plates. Although numerous geophysical studies of crustal structure onshore Iberia have been carried out during the last decade, the crustal ...

Diversity and Distribution of Mesozooplankton in the Coastal Southwestern Mediterranean Alboran Sea, during Summer: What Are the Driving Factors?

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
The southern Alboran Sea is a dynamic ecosystem and is highly influenced by Atlantic waters. Unfortunately, despite the importance of the mesozooplankton in this ecosystem, the number of studies on this ecosystem is low.

Considerations on the biology of Plesionika edwardsi (Brandt, 1851) (Decapoda, Caridea, Pandalidae) from experimental trap catches in the Spanish western Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2000
In this study, the results obtained from three experimental trap shrimp (Plesionika edwardsi) fishing cruises in three different seasons are presented. They were carried out during a total of 50 days, of which 43 days were of effective fishing, covering ...

Postflexion larvae and juvenile daily growth patterns of the Alborán Sea sardine (Sardina pilchardus Walb.): influence of wind

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2006
The Alborán Sea is a hydrographically complex and variable area in which wind-driven coastal upwelling occurs. Its most abundant small pelagic resource is the sardine (Sardina pilchardus), which is subject to major interannual oscillations.

Mediterranean outflow and its link with upstream conditions in Alboran Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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

Contourite sedimnetation in the Alboran Sea: morphosedimentary characterization

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents a new view of recent sedimentation in the Alboran Sea, based on the analysis of the largest database of available seismic profiles in that sea. The results reveal that contourites represent the main morphosedimentary features that characterize the margins and basins. Several types of contourite features have been characterized, both

Experimental study of the Alboran Sea gyres

open access: yes, 1996
In order to examine the response of the surface flow to the regime in the Gibraltar Strait, the Alboran Sea is modelled in a large rotating channel mounted on the 14 m ''Coriolis'' rotating platform. The channel is divided into two basins connected by a strait. The currents are initialized and maintained constant in time by pumps.
