South Adriatic Recipes: Estimating the Vertical Mixing in the Deep Pit [PDF]
The available historical oxygen data show that the deepest part of the South Adriatic Pit remains well-ventilated despite the winter convection reaching only the upper 700 m depth. Here, we show that the evolution of the vertical temperature structure in

Intermittent supply of dense water to the deep South Adriatic Pit: an observational study [PDF]
The renewal of bottom water masses in the deep South Adriatic Pit (SAP) is mainly determined by the arrival of very dense water that forms in the North Adriatic in winter (NAdDW) and which is transported into the SAP by gravity currents.

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is one of the most important drivers of ocean biogeochemical cycles and marine life, and in many areas its concentration has declined due to climate change.

Vertical distribution of protozoan and microcopepod communities in the South Adriatic Pit [PDF]
The qualitative composition, numerical abundance and vertical distribution of radiolarians, tintinnines, nauplii and small copepod assemblages was studied in the central area of the Southern Adriatic Pit at three stations during ten cruises from October 1985 to May 1990.

Qualified temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen climatologies in a changing Adriatic Sea [PDF]
An updated climatology, based on a comprehensive data set (1911–2009) of temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen, has been produced for the whole Adriatic Sea with the variational inverse method using the DIVA (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis)

Picoplankton community structure before, during and after convection event in the offshore waters of the Southern Adriatic Sea [PDF]
This paper documents the picoplankton community's response to changes in oceanographic conditions in the period between October 2011 and September 2012 at two stations belonging to the South Adriatic Pit (SAP).

Metal deposition in deep sediments from the Central and South Adriatic Sea
Geochemical analysis and trace element distribution were performed on the marine sediments from short cores (30 to 50 cm) from the Middle (Jabuka and Palagruža pits, depth 230 m and 170 m respectively) and South Adriatic Sea (depth 1030 m) and the ...

Tipping of the double-diffusive regime in the southern Adriatic Pit in 2017 in connection with record high-salinity values [PDF]
In double-diffusive mixing, whenever salinity and temperature decrease with depth, the water column is either unstable or predisposed to a state called salt fingering (SF), which exhibits increased vertical mixing.

Deep Ocean microbial communities in the South Adriatic Pit
The Adriatic Sea is a semi enclosed basin in the Northeastern Mediterranean with a shelf that extends from its northernmost part to the Split Gargano transect. Its deeper southern part is characterized by the circular, 1243 m deep South Adriatic Pit (SAP).

Air–sea CO2 exchange in the Southern Adriatic Sea: assessing its role as a moderate carbon sink over the last decade (2015–2024) [PDF]
Coastal waters contribute significantly to the total oceanic carbon uptake. In this context, the cumulative influence exerted by marginal seas may be conspicuous.
