| Cold water formed on the western continental shelf of the Black Sea in February 1990 was studied. The band of cold water follows the coast and interacts with coastal geometry, resulting in winter phytoplankton blooms particularly along the southwestern coast. Species composition and surface spatial distribution of net phytoplankton (> 55 mu m) showed an apparent species differentiation between the shelf and open ocean plankton. Offshore waters exhibit high diversity indices compared to shelf waters where the intense outburst induced by Chaetoceros sp. occurs. This species of diatom thrived successfully in the cold waters, reaching cell densities > 10(6) cells/l in the vicinity of Sakarya river and its eastward extension. Six different-sized patchy... |

| The northern Levantine Sea is the primary source region for the Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) in the Mediterranean Sea. The Deep Water (DW) of the Eastern Mediterranean mainly originates in the Adriatic basin, but local contributions from the Levantine Sea have also been suspected in the past. Observations in the northern Levantine Sea during March 1992 shed new light on the above processes, showing simultaneous formation of DW in the cyclonic Rhodes Gyre (Rhodes Gyre) area, and of LIW in the adjacent regions. The deep convection region coincides with the permanent dome structure of the Rhodes Gyre, where overturning of the water is generated by cooling during sufficiently severe winters. The LIW is produced in a much larger area of the northern... |
