Strait of Messina topography Gibraltar topography Workshop Energia dal Mare 2014 – Roma 1 July Strait of Gibraltar Background Tarifa Narrow! Camarinal Sill! Espartel Sill! Chart of the Strait of Gibraltar, adapted from Armi & Farmer (1988), showing the principal geographic features referred to in the text. Areas deeper than 400 m are shaded Workshop Energia dal Mare 2014 – Roma 1 July 14 A. Sánchez-Román et al. / Journal of Marine Systems 98–99 (2012) 9–17 Strait of Gibraltar Background: Physics semidiurnal constituents and particularly for M2. The opposite behavior is found in the Atlantic layer, where amplitude increases monotonically from east to west. Phases of semidiurnal constituents also show such monotonic characteristic. This behavior was reported by GarcíaLafuente et al. (2000) between the eastern exit of the strait and the main sill of Camarinal and the analysis here not only confirms this result but also extends it to the western exit of the strait. Between GC and CS, the amplitude of M2 transport in the Mediterranean layer is reduced by more than 50% while it is nearly 6 times greater in the Atlantic layer at CS (Table 2). A very clear transfer of the tidal signal from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic layer takes place between GC and CS during the flood tide and vice-versa during the ebb tide. This fact led Bray et al. (1990) to propose the conceptual model of a membrane-like interface between CS and GC sections whose role would be the transfer of the tidal signal from one layer to the other. Phase difference between these locations in the Atlantic layer indicates that tidal transport propagates from CS to GC, a fact that is ascribed to the strong baroclinic nature of the internal tide. An inspection of values in Table 2 indicates that the same behavior applies between CS and ES sections. The two-layer sketches presented in Fig. 4 illustrate key aspects of the tidal dynamics in the strait and explain the aforementioned divergences. Fig. 4.a represents the hypothetical mean exchange and mean interface position in the absence of tidal forcing. Tidal transports associated with M2 within each layer (small two-headed arrows with size proportional to the transport, which is indicated by the numbers beside) and the total barotropic transport (large arrows with numbers inside) have been included for ES, CS and GC sections (see Fig. 1 for locations). Notice that M2 transport by itself (3.1 Sv) would reverse the mean flow, which is around 0.8 to 1 Sv in each layer (Baschek et al., 2001; Garcia-Lafuente et al., 2002a; Sánchez-Román et al., 2009), if it were equally distributed among both layers. This is not the case at the strait's boundaries because most of the tidal flow moves through the passive, slow-flowing layer (Mediterranean layer in the east, Atlantic Image of acousQc backscaRer during ebb Qde over Camarinal Sill in layer in the west), making them reverse periodically. At these boundthe Strait of Gibraltar (Wesson and Gregg, 1994) aries, however, the tidal transport in the active, fast-flowing layers is insufficient to reverse the total flow. In CS the amplitude of M in any Strong mixing and entrainment mainly driven by the very intense Qdes. A.

These themes have been developed based on exisQng research roadmaps which idenQfy the criQcal areas of research required for the successful growth of the industry. The Research Themes are here: • Resource • Devices and Technology • Deployment and OperaQons • Environmental Impact • Socio-­‐economic Impact • Research Infrastructure, EducaQon and Training Within each Research Theme a number of sub-­‐topics have been idenQfied as key long term research objecQves. IniQal EERA Ocean Energy JP acQviQes are not able to cover all of the objecQves idenQfied but have been prioriQzed in the first year’s programme by need and the current availability of funding. The gap between what has been idenQfied as a key long term objecQve and what the EERA Ocean Energy JP is actually able to deliver in the first year will help idenQfy issues that need future funding and coordinated research efforts.
