Mediterranean sapropels are layers with elevated organic carbon concentrations that
contrast with surrounding sediments, which are organic poor. Sapropels occur (quasi-) …

In this paper we present an overview of the most recent findings about the Mediterranean
Sea present-day circulation structure. Both historical observations and numerical model …

During the last decade, a considerable amount of work has been made and definite results
obtained about the circulation in the Western Mediterranean Sea. The diagrams presented …

Results from a recent hydrographic survey show that an influx of Aegean Sea water has
replaced 20 percent of the deep and bottom waters of the eastern Mediterranean …

In this paper, it is proposed that the formation of eastern Mediterranean sapropels occurred
in an anti-estuarine type of circulation, which was to some degree weakened relative to the …

Observations of the last decade testify that the characteristics of the deep thermohaline
circulation in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea have changed thoroughly. The source of the …

The recent changes in the thermohaline circulation of the Eastern Mediteranean caused by
a transition from a system with a single source of deep water in the Adriatic to one with an …

A novel description of the phenomenology of the Eastern Mediterranean is presented based
upon a comprehensive pooled hydrographic data base collected during 1985–1987 and …

The Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) is a relatively small ocean basin with an unusually
high nitrate to phosphate ratio in the deep waters (∼ 28: 1). As a consequence, the typical …

In this paper we revisit, with a thorough in-depth analysis, the dataset collected in the
hydrographic surveys of the international collaborative programme POEM (Physical …
