This phenomenon is due to the difference in temperature of the two bodies of water. The same thing happens in the Straits of Gibraltar as the shallower Mediterranean is warmer than the Atlantic . The warm water flows out of the Med. at a higher level than the cold water flowing in from the Atlantic. During WW2 this phenomenon allowed submarines to move through the Straits without using their engines, thus avoiding detection. Closer to the surface to leave the Med.; lower to enter.
