dc.description.abstract	The western sill region of the Strait of Sicily lies between Sicily (Capo Lilibeo) and Tunisia (Cap Bon) and is part of the submarine ridge separating the eastern from the western Mediterranean. [Fig. lJ. It was studied during three expeditions in winter (April 1963) and summer (Sept-Oct. 1962y Sept-Oct. 1963). The measurements, which were preceded by a bathymetric survey, consisted of hydrographic casts, bathythermograph dips, geomagnetic electrokinetograph runs, current-meter ~ips, the simultaneous tracking of parachute drogues at six different depths and the longterm recording of the thermal structure from a moored buoy
