In order to be able forecast the weather and estimate future climate changes in ocean, it is crucial understand past mechanisms responsible for ocean variability. This particularly true a complex area such as Mediterranean Sea with diverse dynamics like deep convection overturning circulation. To this end, effective tools are reanalyses or reconstructions of state. Here we present new physical reanalysis at high resolution, developed Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS)...

Abstract. This paper presents an innovative web-based decision support system to facilitate emergency management in the case of oil spill accidents, called WITOIL (Where Is The Oil). can be applied create a forecast events, evaluate uncertainty predictions, and calculate hazards based on historical meteo-oceanographic datasets. To compute transport transformation, uses MEDSLIK-II model forced by operational services. Results modeling are visualized through Google Maps. A special application...
Abstract. A multiscale sampling experiment was carried out in the Gulf of Taranto (eastern Mediterranean) providing first synoptic evidence large-scale circulation structure and associated mesoscale variability. The mapping geostrophic showed presence an anticyclonic gyre occupying central open ocean area Taranto. On periphery upwelling is evident where surface waters are colder saltier than at center gyre. Over a 1-week period, rim current undergoes large changes which interpreted as...
