Over the past four decades, the understanding of Mediterranean oceanography has evolved
considerably. From a purely stationary view, there has been a shift to a concept that …

The Adriatic Sea surface circulation for the period 1990–1999 is studied using the data of
more than 200 satellite-tracked drifters. The spatial structure and the temporal variability of …

The Mediterranean Forecasting system Pilot Project has concluded its activities in 2001,
achieving the following goals: 1. Realization of the first high-frequency (twice a month) …

Sea level observations from tide-gauge records located at the Adriatic coasts are analysed.
The estimated sea level trends show variability in time and space. Spatial variability is …

Hydrographic and current measurements conducted during the period from March 1997 to
March 1999 in the Southern Adriatic and in the Otranto Strait provide clues to the …

A modelling system for the Adriatic Sea has been built within the framework of the
Mediterranean Forecasting System Pilot Project. The modelling system consists of a …

The paper examines dense water formation in the South Adriatic by analysing temperature,
salinity and dissolved oxygen data collected during six along-Adriatic cruises carried out …

To define the sediment transport pathways along the southern Adriatic shelf and slope, two
oceanographic cruises were carried out in the southern Adriatic, in July 2004 and in March …

The trajectories of satellite-tracked drifters are used to describe the characteristics of the
subtidal surface circulation in the Adriatic Sea between December 1994 and March 1996 …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a description of the major features of the large-
scale Mediterranean Sea circulation and the most important changes that have been …
