The Mediterranean Sea is a semi-enclosed sea characterized by high salinities,
temperatures and densities. The net evaporation exceeds the precipitation, driving an anti …

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) …

We describe a synthesis of the Mediterranean Sea circulation structure and dynamics from a
23-year-long reanalysis of the ocean circulation carried out by Adani et al.(2011). This …

In this study a> 30 years dataset of 1382 CTD casts in the Levantine Basin (LB) was
analyzed to examine the thermohaline trends of the Surface (~ 0–50 m) and Intermediate …

The oceans regulate our weather and climate from global to regional scales. They absorb
over 90% of accumulated heat in the climate system (IPCC Citation 2013) and over a quarter …

Drifter observations and satellite-derived sea surface height data are used to quantitatively
study the surface geostrophic circulation of the entire Mediterranean Sea for the period …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) can cause devastating impacts on marine life. The frequency of
MHWs, gauged with respect to historical temperatures, is expected to rise significantly as the …

Sea-level change is one of the most concerning climate change and global warming
consequences, especially impacting coastal societies and environments. The spatial and …

A simulation of the Mediterranean circulation between 2011 and 2020 at a resolution of 3–4
km in the Eastern basin was compared to vertical profiles and horizontal distributions of …

In this paper we document dense water formation throughout the Adriatic shelf and coastal
area in January/February 2012, resulting in record-breaking densities observed during and …
