Article Synopsis
- Dense water overflows, shaped by flow dynamics and erosional processes, are crucial for ocean circulation, particularly the Mediterranean Overflow entering the Atlantic.
- High-resolution data reveals the Mediterranean Overflow’s complex pathways as it splits into depth-sorted branches upon exiting the Gibraltar Straits, influenced by the underwater topography.
- The Mediterranean salt flux affects the North Atlantic's buoyancy balance, making it essential to study its depth-level entry for future climate impact assessments.
Over the last decade, ocean sunfish movements have been monitored worldwide using various satellite tracking methods. This study reports the near-real time monitoring of fine-scale (< 10 m) behaviour of sunfish. The study was conducted in southern Portugal in May 2014 and involved satellite tags and underwater and surface robotic vehicles to measure both the movements and the contextual environment of the fish.
