A large abrupt change in the abyssal water masses of the eastern Mediterranean [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2007
In this letter we report observations showing, for the first time, the occurrence of a new, major transformation in the thermohaline cell of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. After 2 decades, during which waters of Aegean origin dominated the abyssal layers of that basin, the Adriatic Sea has returned to represent a major source of Eastern Mediterranean ...

Mediterranean overflow water in the North Atlantic and its multidecadal variability

open access: yesTellus: 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.

Ferromanganese nodules and micro-hardgrounds associated with the Cadiz Contourite Channel (NE Atlantic): Palaeoenvironmental records of fluid venting and bottom currents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Ferromanganese nodule fields and hardgrounds have recently been discovered in the Cadiz Contourite Channel in the Gulf of Cadiz (850–1000 m). This channel is part of a large contourite depositional system generated by the Mediterranean Outflow Water ...

Ventilation of the Mediterranean Sea constrained by multiple transient tracer measurements [PDF]

open access: yesOcean 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

open access: yesJournal of Maps
For 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]

open access: yesEarth 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 ...

The time series at the Strait of Gibraltar as a baseline for long-term assessment of vulnerability of calcifiers to ocean acidification

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Spatial variability of precipitation regimes over Turkey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Turkish annual precipitation regimes are analysed to provide large-scale perspective and redefine precipitation regions. Monthly total precipitation data are employed for 107 stations (1963–2002).

Seasonal variability of intermediate water masses in the Gulf of Cádiz: implications of the Antarctic and subarctic seesaw [PDF]

open access: yesOcean 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.

Ecological Constraints of Plankton Bio-Indicators for Water Column Stratification and Productivity: A Case Study of the Holocene North Aegean Sedimentary Record

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
This study presents novel findings on the drivers of the calcitic planktonic foraminiferal and aragonitic pteropod Holocene assemblages of the North Aegean Trough (northeastern Mediterranean), an area recording the interaction between dynamic water ...
