| There is a strong seasonal variation in the exchange flow through the strait of Bah al Mandab connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden (Thompson, 1939). In the winter a two-layer flow is observed in the strait. Dense intermediate water from the Red Sea flows into the Gulf of Aden and warmer fresher surface water flows into the Red Sea. In the summer season the direction of the surface flow is reversed and a third layer, of density between that of the surface layer and that of the intermediate Red Sea water, flows into the Red Sea. An analysis of this intrusion of cold water from the Gulf of Aden into the Red Sea is made using XBT data. The speed of propagation is. 0.06 m s(-1). Following the onset of the winter monsoon in September, downwelling in the... |

| An observational experimental setup will be proposed to investigate the dynamics and thermodynamics of the deep western boundary current in the “transition zone” of the North Atlantic, around Flemish Cap, Newfoundland. Located between the international RAPID and OSNAP mooring arrays, this region represents a unique choke point for most of the North Atlantic large-scale currents and water masses involved in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Horizontal export and latitudinal coherence, water mass transformation and vertical motions, as well as shelf-slope-interior exchanges will be studied with repeat hydrography, moorings, drifting and profiling floats, and gliders. Multidisciplinary approaches are likely, including biogeochemistry and... |
