dc.description(texto para TWITER) "A surprising warming trend detected in the Mediterranean outflow seems to be the result of buoyancy fluxes reduction in the Mediterranean basin linked to the climatic change. Such a warming will have consequences on the North Atlantic circulation in the long-term"es_ES
dc.description.abstractThermohaline properties of near-bottom (about 15m above seafloor) Mediterranean waters that form part of the Mediterranean outflow (MOW) have been monitored since 2004 at the Espartel Sill in the Strait of Gibraltar, the westernmost gate before the MOW spreads in the Gulf of Cadiz and the Atlantic Ocean (Sammartino et al. 2015; doi:10.1002/2014JC010674). Monitored near-bottom water shows a surprising warming trend of 0.339 ± 0.008°C decade−1 from 2013 onwards, which is one order of magnitude greater than the usual deep waters trends reported in the Mediterranean (García-Lafuente et al. 2021; doi:10.3389/fmars.2021.613444). The origin of such trend might be the concomitant warming of deep waters unnoticed so far, which is not likely taking into account the observational effort being carried out in the basin, or the progressive increase of the contribution of the warmer and saltier Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) in the MOW at the expense of the colder and fresher Western Mediterranean Deep Water (WMDW) counterpart. ERA5 climatic reanalysis points at average negative buoyancy flux anomalies in the Mediterranean basin during the period 2013-to-present, which implies reduced WMDW formation rates in the convection areas. Increased volume of LIW in the outflow would compensate the WMDW deficit in the MOW, thus explaining the temperature trend. The warming, in turn, will produce a more buoyant MOW in the Gulf of Cadiz with consequences to be investigated in the future.es_ES
