This paper presents a review of the state-of-the-art in understanding and quantification of the
Mediterranean heat and mass (ie salt and water) budgets. The budgets are decomposed …

Based on the simulation of M2 tide in the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea and the East China
Sea, TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter data are assimilated into a 2D tidal model to study the …

Recently, PROTEVS GIB20 experiment was performed in the Strait of Gibraltar. Part of this
experiment was dedicated to observe the high frequency dynamics near Camarinal Sill …

This work is dedicated to the study of the propagation of the Western Mediterranean Deep
Water (WMDW) formed in the Gulf of Lions during the exceptional winter 2005. A simulation …

In this study we investigated the tidal dynamics in a system of inter-connected land-locked
basins formed by the Mediterranean, the Marmara, the Black and the Azov seas (MMBA …

Within the CIRCE project “Climate change and Impact Research: the Mediterranean
Environment”, an ensemble of high resolution coupled atmosphere–ocean regional climate …

In the northwestern Mediterranean Sea, winter 1986–1987 was particularly cold, inducing a
strong open ocean convection event. In order to investigate the impact of numerical models …

A two-dimensional, vertical section of the Strait of Gibraltar is simulated numerically with the
nonhydrostatic/non-Boussinesq three-dimensional CROCO model to investigate details of …

Recent observations of the outflowing Mediterranean water collected near the bottom in key
points of the Strait of Gibraltar show the existence of a seasonal cycle with warmer and …

Abstract The Strait of Gibraltar is a narrow and shallow channel that controls the
Mediterranean Sea thermohaline and biogeochemical balances. Strong tidal currents …
