Currents, Water Masses, Eddies and Jets in the Mediterranean Levantine Basin

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1988
Abstract Hydrographic measurements in the southeastern Levantine basin are analyzed, and the climatological water masses of the region and their seasonal variations are identified. We observe the formation of the salty and warm Levantine Surface Water Layer (LSW); we characterize the subsurface Atlantic Water Layer (AW); and we describe the properties ...

Water Mass Variability and Levantine Intermediate Water Formation in the Eastern Mediterranean Between 2015 and 2017

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2021
AbstractThe physical characteristics of water masses in the Cilician Basin were analyzed based on recent, comprehensive in‐situ data. Nine seasonal cruises from June 2015 to November 2017 were carried out in an area located in the north‐eastern Levantine Basin between the coasts of Turkey and Cyprus.

Assessment of the water mass dynamics over the western Mediterranean in the MEDRYS1V2 reanalysis

2023
We present an assessment of the water mass dynamics in a reanalysis of the Mediterranean Sea with a focus on the Western basin. We use a θ-S based algorithm to compute the fractions of the main western Mediterranean water masses : Atlantic and modified Atlantic Waters (AW, mAW), Western and Levantine Intermediate Waters (WIW and LIW)and Western ...

Water mass properties and chemical signatures in the central Mediterranean region

Journal of Marine Systems, 2002
During the last 15 years, the knowledge of Mediterranean physical dynamics as well as of atmospheric forcing underwent a tremendous improvement because of the action within several international programs and the development of remote sensing and modelling approaches.

Climate Variability and Water Mass Formation in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea

2012
Recent changes of the thermohaline circulation in the Eastern Mediterranean (i.e. the Eastern Mediterranean Transient) and older observations of the thermohaline structure of the Aegean-Levantine region (with events of dramatic changes of deep water characteristics) reveal the very sensitive character of the regional thermohaline circulation pattern ...

Water Masses in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea: An Analysis of Measured Isotopic Oxygen

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2018
We investigate aspects of the water mass structure of the Adriatic and Ionian basins (Eastern Mediterranean Sea) and their interdecadal variability through statistical analyses focused on δ18O measurements carried out in 1985, 1990, and 2011. In particular, the more recent δ18O measurements extend throughout the entire water column and constitute, to ...

Water mass properties and dynamic conditions of the Eastern Mediterranean in June 2007

Progress in Oceanography, 2012
Five locations in the Eastern Mediterranean, situated in the Ionian Sea, Cretan passage and Levantine basin, were characterized for their physical and biogeochemical properties on the basis of the data collected during an oceanographic cruise in June 2007.

Beyond Megaprojects?. Water Alternatives for Mass Tourism in Coastal Mediterranean Spain

Water Resources Management, 2012
Water availability in adequate quantities and qualities is a fundamental requirement for tourism. In the Mediterranean, one of the world’s leading tourist destinations, water availability is subject to modest and erratic precipitation figures which may decline with climate change.
