heal.abstract	Cruciform drogues were used to study the spatial and temporal variability of the upperlayer currents in Thermaikos Gulf(N.W. Aegean Sea, Greece). Results from 39 different drogue experiments carried out during the period 1975-1977 indicate that the upper layer water transport is dependent upon the variable discharge of large rivers discharging into the area and the prevailing northerly component winds. In areas of the Gulf away from the rivers, the wind stress and the configuration of the coastline are the most important factors controlling the upper layer currents. Nearshore flow is quasiparallel to the coasts. The prevailing zonal and meridional water transport are respectively westward and southward. Vertical shear is greater in the upper 5m of the water column.	en
