Based on Levitus' (1982) data set, a combination of robust diagonstic and fully prognostic techniques is used to evaluate for the Mediterranean Sea a climatology consistent with the physics of the GFDL-OGCM. Model experiments are carried out with 28 levels and with a horizontal resolution of DELTA-lambda = 1/3-degrees, DELTA-phi = 1/4-degrees. The model is forced mechanically by wind stress taken from Hellerman and Rosenstein's (1983) data. Sea surface temperature and salinity are prescribed from Levitus' (1982) data. Exchange flows in the Strait of Gibraltar are explicitly prescribed with 1.5 x 10(6) m3s-1. The focus is put on the analysis of initial and boundary conditions data. The dynamical effects of the exchange flows in the Strait of Gibraltar, as... |

TOPEX/Poseidon (TIP) altimeter data in the Black Sea are analyzed for almost 5 years in parallel with available hydrological and meteorological data with the aim of studying the water balance and the dependency of sea level oscillations on meteorological and hydrological forcing. This forcing induces seasonal variations of mean sea level with oscillations of similar to 10-15 cm. The consistency between satellite and tidal gauge data is demonstrated in several coastal locations, and a mean ascending trend of similar to 3 cm yr(-1) is found in the two data sets. The variability in all components of water balance, including the Bosphorus outflow calculated as the difference between the fresh water flux and the time rate of sea level change estimated from... |
