Abstract :
[en] An intense anticyclonic eddy anomaly event was observed in fall-winter 2017 north of the island of Mallorca in the western Mediterranean Sea. Similar long-lived eddies were reported during 1998 and 2010. The eddy alters the general cyclonic circulation of the Balearic Sea and the regional water mass properties. In particular, glider data in 2017 showed an anomalous strong inflow through the Ibiza Channel of recent Atlantic Water. These changes significantly affect the heat, salt and nutrient distributions in the area with implications for climate and primary production. The monitoring of these events is thus essential for both science and society in this area.
