“…Water masses from the northwest Levantine also enter the Cretan Sea at intermediate depths (Levantine Intermediate Water-LIW) following the same LSW pathways through the eastern Cretan Straits [Theocharis et al, 1993] although Astraldi et al, [1999] have reported that some minor LIW masses also enter through [Zodiatis, 1991b]. However, it was not until Schlitzer et al [1991] named these intermediate masses of Cretan Sea origin as Cretan Intermediate Water (CIW) that they were identified as a distinguishable water mass.…”

“…It is traced as a surface/subsurface salinity minimum (S 38.5-38.9) at depths of up to 100 dbars. Less saline AW is found at the western entrance of the Cretan Sea fed directly by the AW carrying, Atlantic-Ionian Stream (AIS) [Zodiatis, 1991a[Zodiatis, , 1991bTheocharis et al, 1993Theocharis et al, , 1999a. After its entrance, AW mass is traced up to the central part of the Cretan basin, mainly in the summer period as winter convective mixing destroys the low salinity signal.…”
