Geostrophic transport estimations from SOCIB gliders in the Ibiza Channel from 2011 to 2024

Through the long-term monitoring program called “Canales”, gliders operated by SOCIB have been deployed in the Ibiza Channel (western Mediterranean) along a semi-continuous endurance line since 2011. During the period 2011-2024, more than 70 glider missions were successfully performed, collecting temperature and salinity profiles from the surface to 950 m depth, from which geostrophic velocities were derived. Following the methodology described in Juza et al. (2025), total and water mass geostrophic transports were then computed for each completed section. The water masses are: recent and modified Atlantic Waters (AWr and AWm, respectively), Western Intermediate Water (WIW), Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) and Western Mediterranean Deep Water (WMDW). This dataset contains the time series of the northward (positive) and southward (negative) flows for the total, AWr, AWm, WIW, LIW and WMDW transports for each transect in the Ibiza Channel from 2011 to 2024.
