On the influence of Mediterranean Water on the Central Waters of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Focuses on a study which hypothesized that the salinity of the Central Waters is influenced by the saline Mediterranean outflow water despite physical separation of the two water masses by a salinity minimum over most of the ocean basin. Background of the Central Water used in the study; Salinity on density surfaces in North America; Discussion of the mixing of Mediterranean water and Atlantic water in the Gulf of Cadiz.
