Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is now acknowledged to be a hot spot for marine litter.
However, little is known about Floating Macro Litter (FML) concentration at the scale of the …

Several oceanographic surveys have been done in the Gulf of Gabes since the beginning of
the twentieth century. The aim of the study by the “Pourquoi Pas”? in 1923 was to investigate …

Targeted observations of submesoscale currents are necessary to improve science's
understanding of oceanic mixing, but these dynamics occur at spatiotemporal scales that are …

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 …

Concern about marine litter has been rising in the last decades, triggered by the discovery of
the great mid-ocean garbage patches. The Mediterranean Sea is strongly affected by the …

The wind effects on drogued and undrogued drifters are assessed using Coastal Ocean
Dynamics Experiment (CODE) and Surface Velocity Program (SVP) drifter datasets and …

We analyzed 20 years of AVISO data set to detect and characterize long‐lived eddies, which
stay coherent more than 6 months, in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. In order to process the …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is a two‐basin system, with the boundary zone restricted to
the Strait of Sicily and the narrow Strait of Messina. Two main population groups are …

Aim Using a combination of satellite telemetry and stable isotope analysis (SIA), our aim was
to identify foraging grounds of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) at important rookeries in …

Drifter observations in the Mediterranean Sea between 1986 and 2012 have allowed study
of important aspects of the surface dynamics in most areas of this marginal sea, including …
