The corresponding results, consistent with data\r\nand dynamics, are providing new insight into the circulation of Modified Atlantic Water\r\n(MAW) and Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) in this region of the western\r\nMediterranean. For MAW these insights include a southward jet off the east coast of\r\nSardinia, anticyclonic recirculation cells on the Algerian and Tunisian shelves, and a\r\nsecondary flow splitting in the Strait of Sicily. For the LIW regime a detailed view of the\r\ncirculation in the Strait of Sicily is given, indicating that LIW proceeds from the strait\r\nto the Tyrrhenian Sea. No evidence is found for a direct current path to the Sardinia\r\nChannel. Complex circulation patterns are validated by two-way nesting of critical\r\nregions. Volume transports are computed for the Strait of Sicily, the Sardinia Channel, and\r\nthe passage between Sardinia and Sicily.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data from a hydrographic survey of the Tunisia-Sardinia-Sicily region are assimilated into a primitive equations ocean model.
