    En el momento actual existe una red de tres antenas que permiten la medida de corrientes superficiales en la parte más oriental del Estrecho gestionada por Puertos del Estado. Con la presente propuesta se pretende ampliar la red de medidas a la parte occidental del Estrecho zona que por otra parte presenta unos complejos patrones de corrientes que son muy difíciles de predecir con los modelos de simulación hidrodinámica con los que se cuenta actualmente. Sin duda la posibilidad de disponer de esta red de medidas permitiría sin duda la gestión más eficiente de cualquier contingencia en una zona con un importante valor ecológico y turístico pero en la que confluyen un riesgo muy alto de vertidos accidentales y de naufragio de personas, principalmente de inmigrantes. Como valor añadido el registro de estos campos de velocidad de la corrientes serán muy valiosos para varios proyectos en los que se estudia el comportamiento de los ecosistemas marinos en la región para los cuales los intercambios de propiedades entre las cuencas del Golfo de Cádiz y el Mar de Alborán son de importancia capital. Con esta infraestructura el CACYTMAR quiere contribuir de forma significativa a los sistemas de observación permanente del Estrecho de Gibraltar potenciando el Sistema de Oceanografía Operacional de las Costas Andaluzas en coordinación estrecha con Puertos del Estado.

    At the present time there is a network of three antennas that allow the measurement of surface currents in the easternmost part of the Strait managed by Puertos del Estado. The aim of this proposal is to extend the network of measures to the western part of the Strait, which also presents complex current patterns that are very difficult to predict with the hydrodynamic simulation models currently available. Without a doubt the possibility of having this network of measures would undoubtedly allow the most efficient management of any contingency in an area with an important ecological and tourist value but where there is a very high risk of accidental spills and shipwreck of people, mainly immigrants. As an added value the registration of these fields of current speed will be very valuable for several projects in which the behaviour of marine ecosystems in the region is studied for which the exchanges of properties between the basins of the Gulf of Cadiz and the Alboran Sea are of paramount importance. With this infrastructure, CACYTMAR wants to contribute significantly to the permanent observation systems of the Strait of Gibraltar by enhancing the Operational Oceanography System of the Andalusian Coasts in close coordination with Ports del Estado.
