摘要：

Based on satellite information and current measurements, it has recently been possible to detect intense mesoscale phenomena in the western Mediterranean Sea which have important consequences on the distribution of the water masses. We emphasize the key role played by the Algerian and Northern Currents and by the instability processes affecting these major components of the circulation. Some implications for the seasonal variability of the circulation are analyzed.
