Characteristics of the Egyptian Mediterranean water masses during the cold and warm winters [PDF]
Acta Adriatica, 2007 Two winter sets of hydrographic data representing warm and cold winters for 1989 and 1990 respectively were used to study the characteristics of Egyptian Mediterranean water masses.

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.

Mediterranean overflow water in the North Atlantic and its multidecadal variability
Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2020 The Mediterranean overflow water is one of the most important intermediate-depth water masses in the North Atlantic. To investigate its properties a pre-industrial simulation with the earth system model EC-Earth is used.

Ventilation of the Mediterranean Sea constrained by multiple transient tracer measurements [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2014 Ventilation is the primary pathway for atmosphere–ocean boundary perturbations, such as temperature anomalies, to be relayed to the ocean interior. It is also a conduit for gas exchange between the interface of atmosphere and ocean.

Bottom water masses on the European continental margins
Journal of MapsFor the first time, a detailed map of bottom water masses across the European continental margins, illustrating the influence of 24 water masses on the seafloor. The North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) (6.1 million km²) and the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW)

Hydrography in the Mediterranean Sea during a cruise with RV Poseidon in April 2014 [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2015 We report on data from an oceanographic cruise in the Mediterranean Sea on the German research vessel Poseidon in April 2014. Data were taken on a west–east section, starting at the Strait of Gibraltar and ending south-east of Crete, as well on sections ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The assessment of the saturation state (Ω) for calcium carbonate minerals (aragonite and calcite) in the ocean is important to determine if calcifying organisms have favourable or unfavourable conditions to synthesize their carbonated structures.

Seasonal variability of intermediate water masses in the Gulf of Cádiz: implications of the Antarctic and subarctic seesaw [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2019 Global circulation of intermediate water masses has been extensively studied; however, its regional and local circulation along continental margins and variability and implications on sea floor morphologies are still not well known.

Experiment in eastern Mediterranean probes origin of deep water masses
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1996 During the last decade the oceanography community has focused much attention on the Mediterranean Sea. One reason for the growing interest is that the Mediterranean's impact on the Northern Atlantic Ocean is more significant than previously realized. The warm, salty Mediterranean water tongue exits the Gibraltar Straits and spreads throughout the North
