Northbound Transport of the Mediterranean Outflow and the Role of Time‐Dependent Chaotic Advection

Northbound Transport of the Mediterranean Outflow and the Role of Time‐Dependent Chaotic Advection

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea releases approximately 1 Sv of water into the North Atlantic through the Gibraltar Straits, forming the saline Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW). Its impact on large‐scale flow and specifically its northbound Lagrangian pathways are widely debated, yet a comprehensive...
