Winds in the strait of gibraltar
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1995AbstractAutomated meteorological observations were made from October 1985 to September 1986 in the narrows of the Strait of Gibraltar. Additional surface and upper‐air measurements were made in the Strait from May to July 1986. the main wind events in summer were mostly mesoscale levanters (winds from the east through the Strait), and a lesser number ...

Exchange through the Strait of Gibraltar
Progress in Oceanography, 1994To measure the exchange between the Atlantic and Mediterranean through the Strait of Gibraltar, an array of current meter moorings was deployed for a year in the Strait during 1985–1986. A novel aspect of these measurements is the inclusion of conductivity as well as temperature and pressure sensors on each current meter so that the salinity of the ...

Tides in the Strait of Gibraltar
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1990The Strait of Gibraltar is where the transition occurs between two distinct tidal regimes: the North Atlantic, where tidal ranges are in excess of 2 m, and the western Mediterranean, where tidal ranges are less than 1 m. Within the strait the tide is principally semidiurnal: observations indicate that on average, 96% of the bottom pressure and 74% of ...

Physical–biological coupling in the Strait of Gibraltar
Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2002This study presents a joint analysis of the distributions of some biogeochemical variables and their relation to the hydrodynamics of Gibraltar Strait. It is a synthesis paper that brings together many results obtained during CANIGO project. We show the role of hydrodynamics as a forcing agent for the plankton community structure in the Strait, with ...

The Regime of the Strait of Gibraltar
1982Abstract The strait of Gibraltar, and the associated sill (about 300 m deep) is a remarkable model for the study of the regime of a strait connecting the ocean with a “concentration basin”, i.e. a basin which, through its surface and from its watershed, receives less water than it loses by evaporation.

RAPTOR MIGRATION ACROSS THE STRAITS OF GIBRALTAR
Ibis, 1973SummaryThe visible migration of birds of prey at Gibraltar is analysed from records kept throughout the spring passages of 1967–70 and the autumn passages of 1967–69. In early spring most visible passage is noted in the afternoons, whereas radar observations by Houghton (1970) indicate passage in the mornings.

On the origin of the Strait of Gibraltar
Sedimentary Geology, 2006Most interpretations of the Early Pliocene opening of the Strait of Gibraltar involve a tectonic process. However, no tectonic structure of this age has been unequivocally documented that could account for such a hypothesis. On the other hand, the sea-level drop of the Mediterranean during the Messinian Salinity Crisis has dramatically enhanced ...

Unity and Disunity across the Strait of Gibraltar
Medieval Encounters, 2013This chapter contextualizes the six articles that form this Special Issue by situating them in relation to trends in the study of North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula. The Iberian Peninsula and the Maghrib are both set apart as marginal or exceptional in their respective fields of European and Middle Eastern studies.
