Description:
During the period October 1985 to October 1986 a large group of oceanographers
collaborated in an intensive field effort called the Gibraltar Experiment.
Scientists from Morocco, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Canada and the
United States joined together to obtain an extensive suite of measurements which
greatly enlarged the oceanographic data base for the Strait of Gibraltar. Primary
experiment goals included obtaining one realization of the annual flow cycle, understanding
the dynamical balances of the strait flow, developing strategies for
long-term monitoring of the Strait, and increasing knowledge of strait effects on the
adjacent ocean. Preliminary results show progress toward each of these four goals.
