Currents between the Pillars of Hercules

The exchange of waters between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea through the Strait of Gibraltar has been a key issue for ocean science from ancient times up to the present day.  

A strong two-layer flow with inflowing surface Atlantic waters overlying outflowing Mediterranean waters provides the mass and salt balance for the Mediterranean.  

A summary of the scientific problems related to this exchange flow and solutions achieved over the last 60 years are presented by Harry from a personal perspective.
