Coastal circualtion over the Gulf of Cadiz continental shelf. Local vs remote effects

Since then, a considerable number of articles have been written dealing with this subject up to the present date (e.g., Oliveira et al., 2022). One of the most studied features in these studies are the so-called Coastal Counter Currents (CCCs) in the coastal shelf. These features are located roughly between the 100 m isobath and the coastline, and they are directed toward west. Nevertheless, despite the considerable number of articles devoted to the analysis of this phenomenon, the actual along-coast extension and origin of these CCCs remain unclear.In the present contribution different mechanisms that have been already proposed to explain the development of these CCCs are revised and discussed. For this purpose, an analysis based on surface currents derived from High Frequen...

These last becomes critical in this area because incise, usually, immediately after the summer dry period, when the vegetation cover is less capable to protect the soil against rainfall aggressiveness and the wildfire period is finishing.

Results show the influence of the density stratification on the vertical structure of the M 2 currents in Algeciras Bay, although its tidal dynamics shows major differences with respect to the Strait of Gibraltar. Whereas the M 2 currents in the Strait present mainly barotropic behavior, the baroclinic effects prevail in Algeciras Bay. A notable finding is the presence of a tidal M 2 counter-current system between the upper Atlantic and the lower Mediterranean water layers within the Bay, with amplitudes of up to 25 cm s À1. The interface between the two layers oscillates in antiphase relation with respect to the freesurface elevation, with amplitudes of almost 20 m. The presence of the submarine Algeciras Canyon was found to be determinant in the three-dimensional structure of tidal currents within the Bay, strengthening the baroclinic tidal regime of currents. This situation has quantitative consequences for the flow-exchange processes between Algeciras Bay and the outer Strait, with rates 20 times higher than those obtained when considering only the barotropic behavior, as well as inflow/outflow lateral recirculation volumes during half a tidal cycle that account for more than 20% of the net accumulated volume. This flowexchange system was found to be affected by the nonlinear interaction processes between the first baroclinic period of resonance of Algeciras Bay and the M 2 tide.
