Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010363

A semi-permanent oceanic front located in the eastern Alboran Sea, extending between Almeria, Spain, and Oran, Algeria. This front separates the less saline, warmer Atlantic water entering through the Strait of Gibraltar from the saltier, denser resident Mediterranean water. The front's position and intensity vary seasonally and with the inflow of Atlantic water, influencing local weather, marine ecosystems, and ocean circulation.
