Knowledge about marine circulation and its variability is a basic requirement for the correct
management of activities aimed at exploiting marine resources and for the prevention and …

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 …

The Etesians are persistent northerly winds that prevail over the eastern Mediterranean
during summer. A climatology of Etesian outbreaks over the Aegean was compiled with the …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is a closed basin with limited water exchange through the
Strait of Gibraltar, and sites along its shores show the greatest densities of marine debris in …

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 East Mediterranean Sea (EMS) circulation has previously been characterized
as dominated by gyres, mesoscale eddies, and disjoint boundary currents. We develop …

We present results of three simulations of the Mediterranean Sea climate: a hindcast, a
historical run, and a RCP8. 5 scenario simulation reaching the year 2100. The simulations …

Mediterranean Sea eddies are often generated in fixed geographical locations linked to
either bathymetric fluctuations, coastline changes, instabilities around islands, or orographic …

The surface currents of the Levantine sub-basin (Mediterranean Sea) are described using
18 years (1992–2010) of drifter data and satellite-derived sea level anomalies. The …
