Geostatistical Seismic Inversion for Temperature and Salinity in the Madeira Abyssal Plain

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
A two-dimensional multichannel seismic reflection profile acquired in the Madeira Abyssal Plain during June 2016 was used in a modeling workflow comprising seismic oceanography processing, geostatistical inversion and Bayesian classification to predict ...

Water Masses of the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea: An Overview

Water, 2023
This overview presents the different water masses present in the various primary and secondary marine regions of the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea, providing information on their main physical characteristics (i.e., temperature, salinity, density), the water depths at which they have been observed and the processes involved in their formation.

Anthropogenic CO2 in the Azores region

Scientia Marina, 2010
The AZORES-I cruise was conducted in August 1998, spanning the length of three latitudinal large-scale sections at 22, 28 and 32ºW. The oceanic carbon system was oversampled by measuring total alkalinity, total inorganic carbon and pH.

A Glider View of the Spreading and Mixing Processes of Antarctic Intermediate Water in the Northeastern Subtropical Atlantic

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
The Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW), one of the most important global intermediate water masses, spreads over the world ocean. Its propagation limit at the Northeast Subtropical Atlantic is characterized by its encounter with the Mediterranean Water (

The contrasted phytoplankton dynamics across a frontal system in the southwestern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2023
Numerical simulations have shown that finescale structures such as fronts are often suitable places for the generation of vertical velocities, transporting subsurface nutrients to the euphotic zone and thus modulating phytoplankton abundance and ...

Post-eastern Mediterranean Transient Oxygen Decline in the Deep Waters of the Southeast Mediterranean Sea Supports Weakening of Ventilation Rates

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Long-term trends in oxygen, salinity, and nutrients were followed in the Southeastern Mediterranean (SEMS) deep waters from 2002 to 2020. Results show a net decrease in oxygen since 2008 of −0.5 ± 0.1 μmol kg−1 yr−1 in the bathypelagic depths (1,200–2 ...

The microbiome of the Black Sea water column analyzed by shotgun and genome centric metagenomics

Environmental Microbiome, 2021
Background The Black Sea is the largest brackish water body in the world, although it is connected to the Mediterranean Sea and presents an upper water layer similar to some regions of the former, albeit with lower salinity and temperature.

Autonomous underwater gliders monitoring variability at “choke points” in our ocean system: A case study in the Western Mediterranean Sea

Geophysical Research Letters, 2012
Recent data from an autonomous ocean glider in the Ibiza Channel (Western Mediterranean Sea) show variations in the transport volumes of water over timescales of days‐weeks, as large as those previously only identifiable as seasonal or eddy driven.

Atmospheric ice-nucleating particles in the eastern Mediterranean and the contribution of mineral and biological aerosol [PDF]

Aerosol Research
While the atmosphere in the eastern Mediterranean is part of the dust belt, it encounters air masses from Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Sahara and Arabian Desert that bring with them a whole host of potential dust and bioaerosol compositions and

Variability of water mass properties in the Strait of Sicily in summer period of 1998–2013 [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2014
The Strait of Sicily plays a crucial role in determining the water-mass exchanges and related properties between the western and eastern Mediterranean. Hydrographic measurements carried out from 1998 to 2013 allowed the identification of the main water ...
