"Surface, intermediate and deep water processes and their interaction in time and
space drive the major ocean circulation of the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean
Sea is a comprehensive volume that investigates the temporal and spatial variability
patterns in the ocean basin. All major forcing mechanisms, such as surface wind forcing,
buoyancy fluxes, lateral mass exchange and deep convection determining the global
oceanic circulation are present in the Mediterranean Sea. Deep and intermediate water
masses are formed in different areas of the ocean layers and they drive the Mediterranean
thermohaline cell, which further shows important analogies with the global ocean conveyor
belt. Volume highlights include discussions of the following: Represents state-of-the-art
physical and biogeochemical properties of the Mediterranean Sea Investigates multiple
physical ocean circulation processes, both in time and spatial scales (basin, sub-basin
and mesoscale) Different regional phenomena in the sea influence the biogeochemistry
of the basin and the ocean dynamics Examines spatio-temporal variability of the surface
circulation in the Western Mediterranean Examines deep-water variability and inter-basin
interactions in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea Portrays a strong understanding the
global ocean circulation patterns and the global climate The Mediterranean Sea will
be a valuable resource for geoscientists, oceanographers and meteorologists." ; "Represents
state-of-the-art physical and biogeochemical properties of the Mediterranean Sea"
