| The MEDATLAS hydrological data base, has been created by a consortium of several data centers, including HNODC (Greece), IEO (Spain), EPSHOM/CMO (French navy), IFREMERJSISMER the coordinating center (France) and ICES (Denmark) as the supervisor of the quality control procedure, in the frame of the MEDATLAS project. This project is a MAST supporting initiative for ocean data and information management. Its objectives were to assemble a comprehensive data base of temperature and salinity profiles collected in the Mediterranean sea by t he scientific laboratories and the navies, to check them for quality and to revise the climatological statistics by using this updated date set. An important part of the work has been devoted to define a common protocol to... |

| This paper presents the qualitative circulation patterns of the ''upper'' and ''deeper'' layers in the Cretan Sea and its environs in late winter 1994. The qualitative aspects of the flow field were determined primarily by the distribution of salinity on appropriate neutral surfaces and were supported by dynamic inferences. Water circulation presented a complex pattern, characterized by various sub-basin and mesoscale cylonic and anticyclonic gyres and smaller-scale eddies. An interesting finding was the presence of an eastward current meandering north of Crete, in the South Aegean Sea. Another interesting finding was the spreading in the opposite direction - westward - of the high-salinity Cretan Deep Water. The latter appeared to follow broadly the... |
