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.

Ba/Ca evolution in water masses of the Mediterranean late Neogene [PDF]
Paleoceanography, 2008 A Mediterranean composite sedimentary record was analyzed for Ba/Ca ratios on carbonate shells of Orbulina universa planktonic foraminifer (Ba/Ca)carb providing the opportunity to study and assess the extent of freshwater inputs on the basin and possible impacts on its dynamics during the Tortonian to Recent period.

Water Mass Transformation in a Secluded Bay of the Mediterranean Sea
Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2023 This case study demonstrates how water transformation in a secluded bay can be investigated using a range of Lagrangian analysis methods that can be calculated with a mass-conserving Lagrangian trajectory model. The study focuses on analysing the water mass transformation and overturning circulation in the Gulf of Gabès.

Water mass variation in the Mediterranean and Black Seas
Journal of Geodynamics, 2012 Abstract The mass-induced sea level variability and the net mass transport between Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea are derived for the interval between August 2002 and July 2008 from satellite-based observations and from model data. We construct in each basin two time series representing the basin mean mass signal in terms of equivalent water height.

Hotter and Weaker Mediterranean Outflow as a Response to Basin-Wide Alterations
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Time series collected from 2004 to 2020 at an oceanographic station located at the westernmost sill of the Strait of Gibraltar to monitor the Mediterranean outflow into the North Atlantic have been used to give some insights on changes that have been ...
