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

Critical analysis of Mediterranean sea level limit cycles during the Messinian salinity crisis
Geologica Acta, 2021 The Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.97-5.33Ma) may be one of the most significant periods of sea-level change in recent geologic history. During this period, evaporite deposition throughout the Mediterranean basin records a series of dramatic environmental ...

Mass exchange at the Strait of Gibraltar in response to tidal and lower frequency forcing as simulated by a Mediterranean Sea model [PDF]
Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2014 The exchange between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean at the Strait of Gibraltar is studied based on numerical simulations of the Mediterranean Sea compared to two sets of observations. The model used has a varying horizontal resolution, highest at the

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.

Two decades of mesoscale phenomena on either side of the Strait of Gibraltar
Scientia Marina, 2012 Mesoscale circulation patterns in the adjacent basins of the Strait of Gibraltar were investigated by means of altimetry data. In the Gulf of Cádiz, the pattern is relatively stable with two gyres: a cyclonic gyre close to the southern Iberian coast and ...

Habitat Variation in Vernal Pool Ecosystems on Both Sides of the Strait of Gibraltar [PDF]
, 2012 We studied vernal pool (VP) ecosystems along a latitudinal gradient crossing the Strait of Gibraltar in order to determine its role in the distribution of VP plant communities.

Snapshot of macroalgae and fish assemblages in temperate reefs in the Southern European Atlantic Ecoregion [PDF]
, 2020 Most of the biodiversity studies in the South European Atlantic Shelf ecoregion are limited to shallow subtidal or intertidal habitats, while deeper reef habitats, also of relevant ecological importance, are particularly understudied.
