| The Mediterranean and the Red Sea are two concentration basins with very similar hydrological characteristics. The water of the adjoining ocean, entering over a sill, holds the water and the nutrient budgets of the basins in balance. Changes in this inflowing oceanic water are analogous in the two basins: reduction in nutrient content, due to mixing with the nutrient-poor water of the basin, biological activity and the existence of successive sills (in the Mediterranean). The Mediterranean receives from the Atlantic Ocean the main part of its nutrient supply (of the order of 70%, the rest being provided by the rivers). This supply is practically constant over the year. The inflowing water from the Indian Ocean provides the entire nutrient supply of the Red... |

| In this paper we present for the first time detailed nutrient and oxygen figures for the Ionian Sea. The data were collected during cruises in March-April 1987 and August-September 1987, in the framework of the multi-nation research programme for the exploration of the Eastern Mediterranean, POEM. The oxygen and nutrient pattern is affected by the presence of mesoscale cyclonic and anticyclonic gyres in the area, the most interesting feature of which is the large anticyclonic flow region southwest of Peloponnesus (Pelops gyre). The chemical characteristics of the main water masses were also determined. In the deep layer of the stations near the Otranto Strait we have found, in winter, newly formed Adriatic Bottom Water (O2 : 5.3 ml/l). This water mass has... |
