The unique chemistry of Eastern Mediterranean water masses selects for distinct microbial communities by depth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The waters of the Eastern Mediterranean are characterized by unique physical and chemical properties within separate water masses occupying different depths.

PLoS ONE, 2021 Pelagia noctiluca is the most common jellyfish in the Western Mediterranean Sea, living in oceanic waters with a holoplanktonic lifecycle. Frequent outbreaks have been well documented in coastal areas, yet little is known about their offshore ...

Decadal acidification in Atlantic and Mediterranean water masses exchanging at the Strait of Gibraltar. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractSeawater pH is undergoing a decreasing trend due to the absorption of atmospheric CO2, a phenomenon known as ocean acidification (OA). Biogeochemical processes occurring naturally in the ocean also change pH and hence, for an accurate assessment of OA, the contribution of the natural component to the total pH variation must be quantified.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The relationships between the interannual variations of the Levantine intermediate water (LIW) core properties and the corresponding biochemical variations in the euphotic zone were systematically studied in the Southeastern Mediterranean during 2013 ...

A large abrupt change in the abyssal water masses of the eastern Mediterranean [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2007 In this letter we report observations showing, for the first time, the occurrence of a new, major transformation in the thermohaline cell of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. After 2 decades, during which waters of Aegean origin dominated the abyssal layers of that basin, the Adriatic Sea has returned to represent a major source of Eastern Mediterranean ...

Distribution and mixing of intermediate water masses in the Channel of Sicily (Mediterranean Sea) [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2003 The Channel of Sicily, which represents the only connection between the western and the eastern Mediterranean Sea, can be described as a three‐layer system, where fresher water of Atlantic origin (Modified Atlantic Water) flows eastward in the upper layer, Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) leaves the eastern basin at around 250–350 m, and an outflow ...

Details on the transport of European eel larvae through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Scientific ReportsNumbers of European glass eels (Anguilla anguilla) monitored along the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of Europe currently serve as the main stock indicator in assessment of this critically endangered species. Spawning, however, takes place exclusively

Characterization of the Atlantic Water and Levantine Intermediate Water in the Mediterranean Sea using 20 years of Argo data [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2022 Atlantic Water (AW) and Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) are important water masses that play a crucial role in the internal variability of the Mediterranean thermohaline circulation.

Water masses in the Atlantic Ocean: characteristics and distributions [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2021 A large number of water masses are presented in the Atlantic Ocean, and knowledge of their distributions and properties is important for understanding and monitoring of a range of oceanographic phenomena.

A Lagrangian Estimate of the Mediterranean Outflow's Origin
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The origin of the Mediterranean Outflow is investigated by deploying six millions virtual Lagrangian parcels at the Strait of Gibraltar, and tracing them backward in time using velocity estimates from an eddy‐permitting reanalysis. The Lagrangian parcels
