Abstract Under the emerging features of interannual-to-decadal ocean variability, periodical reversals North Ionian Gyre (NIG), driven mostly by mechanism named Adriatic-Ionian Bimodal Oscillating System (BiOS), are known as impacting on marine physics and biogeochemistry potentially influencing short-term regional climate predictability in Eastern Mediterranean. Whilst it has been suggested that local wind forcing cannot explain such aspects alternative hypothesis indicating NIG mainly...
ICOS-Oceans is the marine domain of European Research Infrastructure Consortium "Integrated Carbon Observation System" (ICOS). It aims at delivering high quality greenhouse gas (GHG) observations and derived data products (e.g. regional GHG-flux maps) for constraining GHG balance on a level, sustained long-term basis. currently consists 11 Ship Opportunity lines (SOOP – Program) 10 Fixed Stations (FOS) spread across waters, including North Atlantic Ocean Barents, North, Baltic Mediterranean...
The Italian Fixed-Point Observatory Network (IFON) integrates well-established coastal and ocean infrastructures (buoys, platforms, moorings, mast etc.), most of them providing real-time multidisciplinary monitoring for a number marine atmospheric variables. Here, we describe the network characteristics then discuss an example its operation during cold spell winter 2012. One goals Flagship Project Ricerca Italiana per il mare (RITMARE) is to create common, validated IFON database able fulfil...
Abstract. The North Ionian Gyre (NIG) displays prominent inversions on decadal scales. We investigate the role of internal forcing induced by changes in horizontal pressure gradient due to varying density Adriatic Deep Water (AdDW), which spreads into deep layers northern Sea. In turn, AdDW fluctuates according circulation NIG through a feedback mechanism known as bimodal oscillating system. set up laboratory experiments with two-layer ambient fluid circular rotating tank, where densities...
Abstract The zonal structure of strongly nonlinear inertial western boundary currents (WBCs) is studied experimentally along a straight “meridional” coast in 5-m-diameter rotating basin by analyzing the “zonal” profile meridional velocity field as function transport intensity and other dynamical parameters. return flow that generated surface wind stress curl oceanic interior forced motion piston, absence any stress. laboratory setup consists two parallel rectangular channels separated an...
The InSEA project (“ In itiatives in S upporting the consolidation and enhancement of E MSO research infrastructure consortium (ERIC) related A ctivities”) has objective, as full name indicates, to consolidate strengthen infrastructures concerning EMSO (“European Multidisciplinary Seafloor water column Observatory”) ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) all those technical-scientific activities it. particular, is upgrading localized distributed marine infrastructures,...
Abstract. We report on data from an oceanographic cruise in the Mediterranean Sea German research vessel Poseidon April 2014. Data were taken a west–east section, starting at Strait of Gibraltar and ending south-east Crete, as well sections Ionian Adriatic Sea. The objectives threefold: to contribute investigation spatial evolution Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) properties deep water masses eastern Sea, investigate mesoscale variability upper column. measurements include salinity,...
Abstract. We report on data from an oceanographic cruise in the Mediterranean Sea German research vessel POSEIDON April 2014. Data were taken a west–east section starting at Strait of Gibraltar and ending south-east Crete as well sections Ionian Adriatic Sea. The objectives twofold; long-term variations Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) deep water masses Eastern investigated. measurements include salinity, temperature, oxygen currents conducted with CTD/rosette system, underway CTD ADCP....
<p>Continuous measurements are essential to assess the interannual variability of thermohaline circulation, water masses properties and transports, biochemical contents. The need for high-frequency sampling resolve events rapid processes (on different time scale) long-sustained multiple interrelated variables from sea surface seafloor is provided by Southern Adriatic Node. It formed observatory E2M3A located in area Pit (Eastern Mediterranean) at 41°32'N,...
