b. 13.2°C and 38.5
c. 14.0°C and 36.2

Transcribed Image Text:Figure 5B-4 provides profiles of the ARVOR-L Profiling Float in the Mediterranean Sea. The left profile shows the change in temperature (°C) with depth. The right profile shows the change in salinity (psu) with depth. The data was collected on 21 November 2020, a week after the data collected from the Atlantic sample in Figure 5B-2. Water flows from the Mediterranean Sea into the Atlantic Ocean over the Gibraltar sill at a depth of about 290 m. The warm, salty water from the Mediterranean Sea mixes with water in the Atlantic Ocean.
