英文摘要	The main objective of the present study is to gain insight into the response of the Atlantic Jet (AJ) to the atmospheric forcing, in order to understand the hydrodynamic processes behind its disconnection from the Western Alboran Gyre (WAG) and the eastward displacement of the latter. An analysis was carried out based on observations of high frequency radar (HFR) derived currents and sea level, numerical model simulations and satellite imagery, with particular focus on the events of intense and endured easterlies. Among the main factors that characterize the atmospheric forcing linked to intense and persistent easterly wind events, the conjugation of the direct local wind forcing effect on the Atlantic Inflow (AI) on the eastern side of the Strait of Gibraltar and the response of the coastal waters in the northwestern (NW) corner of the Alboran Sea to the wind forcing over the Alboran Sea are of particular interest. In addition, the effect of the elevation surges in the Strait coming from the western Mediterranean Sea on reducing the AI intensity must be taken into account. These surges appear in coincidence with the establishment of persistent and intense easterlies over the Alboran Sea. The alteration of the AJ-WAG system in response to this forcing causes important changes in the phytoplankton distributions in the Alboran Sea. After the events of persistent and intense easterlies the phytoplankton accumulations in the NW Alboran Sea are displaced offshore and the phytoplankton transported with the AJ is injected toward the central zone of the WAG. © 2021.
