Glacial to interglacial changes in the settling depth of the mediterranean outflow plume, Paleoceanography 20
[1] We present micropalaeontological and grain-size records for a set of sediment cores from the Gulf of Cadiz (southwest Spain) that reflect changes in the position and strength of the Mediterranean Outflow (MO) current. The cores sample a sediment drift (the Gil Eanes Drift) that is positioned low...
