This study used data collected during six hydrographic cruises in the western half of the Cap Bon – Mazara del Vallo section during 2003. The analyses of transects reveals the presence of Western Intermediate Water (WIW) in April and Ionian Water (IW) in March-April on the Tunisian side of the channel in a transitional layer between Atlantic Water (AW) and Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW). The conclusions on seasonal and mesoscale variability are confirmed by a high resolution numerical simulation
