Sound Speed and Oceanic Frontal Variability in the Western Alboran Sea (January-March 1979).

Abstract

During January through March 1979, a Fleet-oriented exercise was conducted in the western Alboran Basin of the Mediterranean Sea (west of about 3 deg 30 min W). This report documents the oceanographic conditions that occurred during the exercise in terms of sound speed variability (both temporal and spatial) and the position of the Alboran Front, the major oceanographic feature of the western Alboran Sea.
