abstract:
The Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) circulation in the Algerian basin is studied by
means of an analysis of the Mediterranean Oceanic Data Base (MODB). The results show that
LIW circulates in the area following two seasonal branches: the first going northward along the
western Sardinian coast and the second directly westward in the middle of the
AlgeriardProven~al basin. This background information will be useful for future design of
operational monitoring networks in the region.
