摘要
The hydrology and dynamics of the Sicily and Sardinia straits were studied to determine the general characteristics of the winter circulation. In the Sardinia Straits, the Levantine Intermediate Water divides into two branches parallel to the African and Sardinian coasts. The circulation is characterized by two eddies of opposite sense in the two upper layers (surface and intermediate water). The hypothesis that the eddies are due to a planetary effect is tested using a simple theoretical model. © 1979.
