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 …

The oceanography of the Alboran Sea (AS) has been the subject of intensive research for
decades. Chief among the reasons for this interest is the variety of physical processes taking …

The pathways and transformations of dense water overflows, which depend on small-scale
interactions between flow dynamics and erosional-depositional processes, are a central …

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 …

In this study different experimental designs for monitoring of sediment plumes produced by
deep-sea mining are presented. Plumes of sediment stirred up from the seabed by mining …

Our understanding of bottom-currents and associated oceanographic processes (eg,
overflows, barotropic tidal currents) including intermittent processes (eg, vertical eddies …

A significant fraction of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) released to the atmosphere is
absorbed by the oceans, leading to a range of chemical changes and causing ocean …

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

Several studies about the coastal circulation over the continental shelf of the Gulf of Cadiz
have been published in the last twenty years. One of the most studied features in these …

The submerged sill in the Strait of Messina, which is located today at a minimum depth of 81
m below sea level (bsl), represents the only land connection between Sicily and mainland …
