Mediterranean climate and oceanography, and the periodic development of anoxic events (sapropels)
Mediterranean sapropels are layers with elevated organic carbon concentrations that
contrast with surrounding sediments, which are organic poor. Sapropels occur (quasi-) …

Climate change effects on a miniature ocean: the highly diverse, highly impacted Mediterranean Sea
Little doubt is left that climate change is underway, strongly affecting the Earth's biodiversity.
Some of the greatest challenges ahead concern the marine realm, but it is unclear to what …

Marine ecosystems' responses to climatic and anthropogenic forcings in the Mediterranean
The semi-enclosed nature of the Mediterranean Sea, together with its smaller inertia due to
the relative short residence time of its water masses, make it highly reactive to external …

Abrupt climate shift in the Western Mediterranean Sea
One century of oceanographic measurements has evidenced gradual increases in
temperature and salinity of western Mediterranean water masses, even though the vertical …

Copernicus marine service ocean state report
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 …

Abrupt warming and salinification of intermediate waters interplays with decline of deep convection in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea
Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is a hotspot for climate change, and recent studies have
reported its intense warming and salinification. In this study, we use an outstanding dataset …

Observations of open‐ocean deep convection in the northwestern M editerranean S ea: Seasonal and interannual variability of mixing and deep water masses for the …
We present here a unique oceanographic and meteorological data set focus on the deep
convection processes. Our results are essentially based on in situ data (mooring, research …

Interaction of dense shelf water cascading and open‐sea convection in the northwestern Mediterranean during winter 2012
The winter of 2012 experienced peculiar atmospheric conditions that triggered a massive
formation of dense water on the continental shelf and in the deep basin of the Gulf of Lions …

The Mediterranean Sea system: a review and an introduction to the special issue
The Mediterranean Sea is a semi-enclosed sea characterized by high salinities,
temperatures and densities. The net evaporation exceeds the precipitation, driving an anti …

Direct and semi-direct aerosol radiative effect on the Mediterranean climate variability using a coupled regional climate system model
A fully coupled regional climate system model (CNRM-RCSM4) has been used over the
Mediterranean region to investigate the direct and semi-direct effects of aerosols, but also …
