黎凡特中间水是占据地中海中间层(200-400)的特有水团。它的特点是高盐度和高温度，已知它形成于地中海最东部的莱万丁盆地。它从这个地区开始扩散到盆地的其他地方，穿过西西里海峡进入地中海西部，最后通过直布罗陀海峡进入大西洋。其高盐度是形成亚得里亚海南部(东地中海深水的源头)和狮子湾(西地中海深水的源头)深水的主要预条件因素。
The Levantine Intermediate Water is the characteristic water mass that occupies the intermediate layers (200-400) of the Mediterranean sea. It is characterized by high salinity and temperature and it is known to be formed in the eastern most part of the Mediterranean sea, the Levantine basin. From this area it starts spreading to the rest of the basin, passing through the straits of Sicily to the western Mediterranean and finally through the strait of Gibraltar to the Atlantic Ocean. Its high salinity is a major preconditioning factor for the formation deep water in the southern Adriatic (source of Eastern Mediterranean Deep Water) and the Gulf of Lions (source of Western Mediterranean Deep Water).
