Cold-water corals and hydrochemistry - is there a unifying link? [PDF]
, 2010 Physical and chemical parameters were measured in five different regions of the Northeast Atlantic with known occurrences of cold-water coral reefs and mounds and in the Mediterranean, where these corals form living carpets over existing morphologies. In

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.

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

On the Circulation and Thermohaline Properties of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The circulation of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea is characterized by numerous recurrent or permanent anticyclonic structures, which modulate the pathway of the main currents and the exchange of the water masses in the basin.
