We base this review of the hydrography of the Turkish Straits System (TSS) on the CTD and
ADCP data obtained on various cruises performed from 1985 till the present, combining the …

The Bosphorus is oceanographically very complicated two-layer stratified strait where
denser water from the Marmara Sea flows towards North under the lighter water which is …

Abstract The Bosphorus Strait is a typical example of a narrow sea strait and, in general, has
a two-layer flow structure. Driven by the water level difference between the Black Sea (north) …

Navigational planning is crucial for safety of navigation in narrow waterways, both for the
ships and the environment. The movement of the ships is very complex in narrow …

The Turkish straits system (TSS), consisting of the Marmara Sea, Dardanelles and
Bosphorus, transfers the Black Sea water and the Mediterranean water. To our best …

Owing to their complex character, modeling flow patterns of narrow straits has always been
a challenge, even with the numerical techniques of today. This study was aimed at …

The Bosphorus is one of the most strategic and busiest waterways in the world connecting
the Blacksea to the Mediterranean with the Dardanelles. It presents a two-layer flow …

The beginning of scientific oceanographic research may be traced back to the in situ
measurements of Count Luigi Ferdinando Marsili in the Adriatic Sea, Aegean Sea, and more …

The aim of this study is to model the hydrodynamic processes of the Istanbul Strait with its
stratified flow characteristics, and calibrate the most important parameters using local and …

Combining with local topography (ie, the presence of a bar or a sill on the bottom and the
shape of the coastline), the meandering geometry of straits, which have more complex …
