Aerosol properties over the western Mediterranean basin: temporal and spatial variability [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015
This study focuses on the analysis of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) aerosol data obtained over Alborán Island (35.90° N, 3.03° W, 15 m a.s.l.) in the western Mediterranean from July 2011 to January 2012. Additional aerosol data from the three nearest

Opening of the Alboran Sea [PDF]

Nature Physical Science, 1972
The Alboran Sea contains two basins deeper than 1,000 m separated by a ridge which we shall call the Alboran marginal fracture (Fig. 1). Seismic reflexion studies and data from the Joides drill site 121, situated exactly on the northern limit of the western basin, show that the deepest sedimentary layers, lying on the substratum, are older than upper ...

The Mediterranean outflow in the Strait of Gibraltar and its connection with upstream conditions in the Alborán Sea [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2017
The present study addresses the hypothesis that the Western Alborán Gyre in the Alborán Sea (the westernmost Mediterranean basin adjacent to the Strait of Gibraltar) influences the composition of the outflow through the Strait of Gibraltar.
