Short summary
This study examines dense shelf water and sediment transport in the Cap de Creus Canyon during the mild winter of 2021–2022, using multiplatform-observational data and the MedSea Reanalysis product. Results show dense shelf waters on the shelf and upper canyon, contributing to Western Intermediate Water. Dense shelf water transport exhibit marked interannual variability, even under mild winters. MDSWC (mild dense shelf water cascading) events are expected to increase with climate change, favoring intermediate-water formation.
