Table 1.
Number of VD particles and total dense water volume crossing each transect (computed for the intervals shown in Fig. 5: in the case of TR a window of 15 days after drifters release was used, while for the other transects the first and 95th percentile of the cumulative drifters’ passage was used). In parenthesis are reported the percentages over the total released VDs. Transects: Rimini (TR), Ancona (TA), San Benedetto del Tronto (TB) and Gargano (TG). Total and Reduced Flux (TF and RF).

| TA | 9881 (4.94%) | 9734 (4.87%) | −155.4 | −536.7 |
