| The MECA 93 oceanographic cruise was carried out in June 1993. The main purpose of the experiment was to understand the action of the main driving mechanisms responsible for the flow variability in the Blanes canyon area (NW Mediterranean) during summer. A domain of about 4000 km(2) including the canyon was covered by RN Hesperides between 17 and 22 June 1993. CTD sampling was performed with characteristic spacing between adjacent stations of 7 to 15 km. The water masses distribution observed during the cruise corresponds to a classical, well-established summer stratification, with typical surface temperatures above 22 degrees C. The thermocline was located at a 40 m depth. The TS diagrams reveal water exchanges across the shelf edge. The surface... |

| The present paper describes the major results obtained from 1989 to 1992 by the EUROMODEL group in studying the circulation in the Western Mediterranean Sea. Particular emphasis has been given to the physical processes responsible for seasonal and mesoscale variabilities. Observations (in situ and satellite), together with theoretical, physical and numerical models, have been widely used in the course of these studies. Attention has been focused on the dynamics of the northern basin (deep water formation, dynamics of the Northern Mediterranean Current, circulation and shelf/slope interaction in the Balearic Sea) and of the southern basin (Alboran Sea circulation, instabilities of the Algerian Current). The straits dynamics have been studied with particular... |
