| High resolution synoptic hydrographic surveys carried out during 1982 to 1987 are used to delineate the two-dimensional baroclinic flow pattern of the Red Sea. it is shown that the circulation can be characterized through a succession Of four gyres, some 200 km in diameter, the locations of which are linked to the major topographic basins of the Red Sea. The gyres have a transport almost an order of magnitude larger than the large-scale thermohaline driven flow. They appear to be forced by the strongly rotational wind field over the Red Sea. |

| Full-depth profiles of zooplankton numerical abundance and major taxa composition are presented with special attention to the dominant copepod fauna, for directly comparable data sets from sites to a depth of 4 300 m in the Levantine and Red Seas, which are also compared with the deep mid-latitude NE Atlantic. Copepods showed highest proportions of calanoids, cyclopoids sensu lato and harpacticoids in the 333 mum net subsurface samples from the Atlantic. Among the calanoids as the predominant group, there was a distinctly disproportionate, extended and depth-related sequence of zonal dominance by one single species of a family each at mesopelagic and bathypelagic depths in the Levantine Sea and the Red Sea. The mass occurrence of dormant Eucalanus monachus... |
