Nash, Jonathan D., Peters, Hartmut, Kelly, Samuel M., Pelegri, Josep L., Emelianov, Mikhail, and Gasser, Marc

Abstract:

Intensive sampling of the deep Mediterranean outflow 70 km W of the Strait of Gibraltar reveals a strong, tidally modulated gravity current embedded with large-amplitude oscillations and energetic turbulence. The flow appears to be hydraulically controlled at a small topographic constriction, with turbulence and internal waves varying together and increasing...
