The intermediate Mediterranean water inflow along the northern slope of the Iberian Peninsula

During the SEFOS 95 cruise (25 March to 15 April 1995) (figure I) a number of CTD casts were made in order to study the intermediate Mediterranean water (IMW) off the west and north coasts of the Iberian Peninsula. One long-term mooring, for current measurement at four levels, was deployed at 43 deg...
