Details on the transport of European eel larvae through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Scientific ReportsNumbers of European glass eels (Anguilla anguilla) monitored along the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of Europe currently serve as the main stock indicator in assessment of this critically endangered species. Spawning, however, takes place exclusively

Characterization of the Atlantic Water and Levantine Intermediate Water in the Mediterranean Sea using 20 years of Argo data [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2022 Atlantic Water (AW) and Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) are important water masses that play a crucial role in the internal variability of the Mediterranean thermohaline circulation.

A Lagrangian Estimate of the Mediterranean Outflow's Origin
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The origin of the Mediterranean Outflow is investigated by deploying six millions virtual Lagrangian parcels at the Strait of Gibraltar, and tracing them backward in time using velocity estimates from an eddy‐permitting reanalysis. The Lagrangian parcels

Biogeochemical, Isotopic and Bacterial Distributions Trace Oceanic Abyssal Circulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We explore the possibility of tracing routes of dense waters toward and within the ocean abyss by the use of an extended set of observed physical and biochemical parameters. To this purpose, we employ mercury, isotopic oxygen, biopolymeric carbon and its
