The Hydrodynamics of the Gulf of Cadiz and the Exchange of Water Masses Through the Gibraltar Strait
Studies on the exchange of water masses through the Gibraltar Strait, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, are numerous, mainly in recent years. However, there is a lack of works of synthesis about the mechanism, distribution and nature of the water masses etc., based on more recent...
