| The hydrographic conditions of the Ibiza Channel were studied in successive surveys during November 1990, March 1991 and twice in July 1992. From a hydrographic viewpoint we must emphasize the importance of the intrusion of Modified Atlantic Water (MAW) with its associated front as a result of mesoscale processes, and the presence of the seasonal Winter Intermediate Water (WIW) which fills the entire width of the channel in the form of a layer between 300 or 400 m thick. This water mass affects the dynamics of the Ibiza Channel by a reduction in the exchange, hiding the seasonal characteristics of the Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW), which we consider to be one of the causes of the circulatory change in the channel. The combined action of the different... |

| An analysis of current velocity, temperature and salinity data collected between 15 November 1990 and 24 July 1991 in the Ibiza Channel has been made to illustrate the circulation of the different water masses within this area. At certain stages of early winter, outstanding intrusions of Modified Atlantic Water, lasting a few days, have been observed flowing northwards along the eastern part of the Channel. Western Mediterranean Intermediate Water appeared for the first time during the middle of February; from March onwards, the thickness of the layer of this water mass increased until it reached its greatest presence during early summer. Simultaneously, the amount of Levantine intermediate Water decreased at the mooring site, being replaced by the MAW.... |
