Seasonal variability and the spatial distribution of sea surface temperatures (SST) and
salinities (SSS) are reviewed, in relation to the prevailing climatological conditions, heat …

The combination of two research projects offered us the opportunity to perform a
comprehensive study of the seasonal evolution of the hydrological structure and the …

A pilot experiment using an array of 45 drifters to explore the circulation in the north and
central Aegean Sea is described. The global positioning system drifters with holey-sock …

The Aegean water masses and circulation structure are studied via two large-scale surveys
performed during the late winters of 1988 and 1990 by the R/V Yakov Gakkel of the former …

The seasonal characteristics of the circulation in the North Aegean Sea are examined with
the aid of a climatological type simulation (three-year run with perpetual year forcing) on a …

Abundance, biomass, vertical distribution, species composition and mixotrophy of planktonic
ciliates were investigated during March 1997 in the oligotrophic Eastern Mediterranean. Six …

Combined micropaleontological and geochemical analyses of the high-sedimentation
gravity core M-4G provided new centennial-scale paleoceanographic data for sapropel S1 …

Ventilation of the deep basins of the North Aegean Sea takes place during relatively scarce
events of massive dense water formation in that region. In the time intervals between such …

The spatial distribution of sediments on the seafloor reflects the various dynamic processes
involved in the marine realm. To analyze sediment transport patterns in the North Aegean …

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 …
