Using objectively analysed hydrographic data, currents have been calculated off
the Egyptian Mediterranean coast at the surface and at 30, 50, 75, 100, 200 and
300 m depths for the four seasons.
The surface circulation is dominated by an anticyclonic circulation off Salum
Bay in winter, spring and summer. In nearshore areas, the current flows eastwards
at the shallower levels but westwards at the deeper levels.
Off the Nile Delta, the current is almost eastward with a higher velocity in
summer and autumn, while in spring it is very weak. Off the area between Port
Said and Rafah, there is a clear cyclonic circulation appearing in all seasons except
winter. At 50 and 75 m depth, the velocity of the circulation is weak. At 100 m
depth, the circulation that appeared between Matruh and Alamen in summer
decreases in area and magnitude at the former depths.
At 200 and 300 m in winter, the current velocity is quite low. In spring the
current flows southwards off the area between Rafah and Port Said. In summer,
the current off the area between Port Said and Rafah is quite strong and flows to
the south. The situation in autumn is quite similar to that in summer, except in
the eastern area, where the current is a westward one.
