Fronts are ubiquitous features in the ocean, having significant implications for oceanic and atmospheric environments, including; water masses, currents,ocean-atmosphere interactions, and ecosystems, particularly through cross-front exchanges of water masses, materials and biota. In this work, we investigatethermal tronts in the Levantine Basin or the Mediterranean Sea. using remotelv sensed sea surtace temperature data. Hirst, a trontal detection algorithm isused to determine the fronts. Then the spatial and temporal variability of the fronts are presented. A specific focus lies on the fronts associated with the AsiaMinor boundary current, due to its frontal instabilities and associated eddy activity. Detected fronts are used as a basis to investigate these features and theircontribution to cross-trontal exchanges. Further work includes identification of in-situ data gaps in existing observatories around fronts to provide an ettectivemonitoring strategy of fronts in the region
