This paper is the outcome of a workshop held in Rome in November 2011 on the occasion
of the 25th anniversary of the POEM (Physical Oceanography of the Eastern Mediterranean) …

The circulation of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea is characterized by numerous recurrent or
permanent anticyclonic structures, which modulate the pathway of the main currents and the …

Data collected from different platforms in the Cretan Sea during the 2000s decade present
evidence of gradually increasing salinity in the intermediate and deep intermediate layers …

This chapter, based on numerical modeling and field observations, aims at proposing a
different mechanism that drives the alternation of the two competitive dense‐water sources …

This overview presents the different water masses present in the various primary and
secondary marine regions of the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea, providing information …

This study examines the impact of different turbidity products on the Aegean Sea surface
physical characteristics, by performing twin-experiment simulations using a high-resolution …

The evolution and drivers of dense water formation (DWF) in the North–Central Aegean Sea
(NCAeg) during winter 2021–2022 are studied using observations from two Argo floats and …

The North Aegean Sea is considered as one of the major dense water formation sites of the
Eastern Mediterranean Sea, contributing to the renewal of the Mediterranean deep water …

Abstract The Aegean Sea's hydrological and circulation characteristics are as complex as its
geomorphological setting. All major Eastern Mediterranean (EMed) water masses can be …

Temperature and salinity time series provided by three POSEIDON monitoring stations
(buoys) are examined in order to study the seasonal and interannual variability of the water …
