A synthesis of the Ionian Sea hydrography, circulation and water …
网页1997年1月1日 · In this paper we revisit, with a thorough in-depth analysis, the dataset collected in the hydrographic surveys of the international collaborative programme POEM (Physical Oceanography of the Eastern Mediterranean) in the period 1986–1987. The work has two major objectives.
Water Exchange across Isobaths over the Continental Shelf of …
网页2017年5月1日 · We designated three isobaths for examining water exchange between the inner and midshelf by using the 50-m isobath, between the mid- and outer shelf by using the 100-m isobath, and between the outer shelf and the Kuroshio by using the 200-m isobath.

网页2022年12月11日 · The Ionian Sea is deep. The 100 m isobath passes at a distance of no more than 10 km from the coast, and in some places – very close to it. At a distance of more than 10 km from the coast, the depths sharply increase to 1500 m, and further, the bottom topography becomes relatively flat.
Impact of dense-water flow over a sloping bottom on open-sea ...
网页2021年7月23日 · We compare laboratory experiments, which simulate the effects of dense-water overflow into the real ocean, with an event that occurred in the northern Ionian Sea characterized by a sudden change in circulation as a consequence of very dense water flowing from the Adriatic Sea following a harsh winter (Mihanović et …
Water Exchange across Isobaths over the Continental Shelf of …
网页2017年3月14日 · The seasonal variations of onshore and offshore currents in the surface layers across the three isobaths are likely caused by local winds, the Taiwan Strait Current, and the Changjiang discharge,...

网页1997年1月1日 · This second pathway for EMDW follows isobath contours along the western side of Greece. The two EMDW routes converge and merge between 36°N and 35°N, so producing a deep layer of EMDW that occupies uniformly the abyssal plain of …
Hydrography, Circulation, and Mixing at the Calypso Deep (the …
网页2016年4月1日 · The thick black line indicates a repeated hydrographic section during the various surveys in the study area. Bathymetric contours are in meters. The 4400-m isobath is the dashed red line and the 5000-m isobath is shown in …
Hydrographic characteristics of water masses and circulation in …
网页2010年3月1日 · The Ionian Sea (IS) is a crucial basin connecting the Levantine Basin to the southern Adriatic Sea (which is the traditional “engine” of the Eastern Mediterranean internal conveyor belt, being the main and historical contributor to the deep and bottom waters of the Ionian and Levantine basins) from which the Adriatic Deep Water (ADW) exits ...
网页The close connection of bottom onshore currents across the three isobaths suggests that the bottom layer is an important pathway for water exchange of shelf water and the open sea. 1. Introduction. The East China Sea (ECS) is a marginal sea of the northwest Pacific Ocean and has one of the largest continental shelves in the world.
The role of Internal Solitary Waves on deep-water sedimentary
网页2016年11月3日 · Combining field observations and numerical modelling, we show that ISWs can account for three key features: ISWs produce fluid velocities capable of mobilizing bottom sediments; the predicted...
