Water Mediterranean

Conventional T-S diagrams for specific locations in the individual oceans are shown in Fig. 10-4. The inflections in the curves reflect the inputs of water from different sources. The linear regions represent mixing intervals between these core sources. For example, in the Atlantic Ocean the curves reflect input from Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW), Antarctic Intermediate Water (AIW), Mediterranean Water (MW), and Warm Surface Water (WSW). [Pg.235]

To determine whether his Pacific samples were in fact representative of other oceans, Patterson and a Japanese colleague, Mitsunobu Tat-sumoto, began developing profiles of the lead in ocean layers in Atlantic and Mediterranean waters. Patterson hated ocean-going field trips he often became violently seasick, once so seriously that he had to be given oxygen. Because the ships were coated with leaded paints and compounds, sampling was tricky, too. Despite the problems, Patterson could see that, as in the Pacific, lead was concentrated in the upper portions of the Atlantic and Mediterranean. [Pg.175]

Temperature affects food supply in another way also. The Mediterranean sprat, which prefers cold waters, exploits a wider feeding area than fish that inhabit only warm waters, because it takes advantage of a greater water depth and can feed all the year round. It possesses a much greater lipid reserve than the warm-water anchovy, and its range of fatness over the annual cycle is wider (Figure 36). The feeding conditions in the warm Mediterranean waters are therefore more favourable to fish that prefer cooler waters rather than warm. [Pg.109]

The average isotope compositions of the sulfate sulfur in the oxic and anoxic zones are + 18.5%o and + 19.5%, respectively. The isotopic composition of sulfate in the Black Sea forms from two distinct sources. The sea receives annually about 2.82 x 106 tons of sulfate with river discharge with the average isotope composition of + 4.6% [71]. The annual input with Mediterranean waters of 540 x 106 tons of sulfates has an isotopic composition of about + 19.8%o [18]. The isotopic composition of dissolved sulfide averaged over all depths is - 39.6 1.3%o and varies between - 42.0%o and - 32.6%o for all stations [65] (Fig. 5). There is no indication that the sulfur isotopic composition of hydrogen sulfide changes spatially and/or seasonally. [Pg.320]

The sulfur budget for the Black Sea has been considered in several papers [23, 24,74-77]. Sulfide sources are sulfide production in sediments, sulfide flux at the sediment/water interface, and sulfide production in the water column. Sulfide sinks are sulfide oxidation at the oxic/anoxic interface and in the basin interior by dissolved oxygen of the modified Mediterranean water and iron sulfide formation in the water column. [Pg.323]

The analysis of Atlantic waters may be regarded as typical of large oceans. The Mediterranean waters are more concentrated,2 partly because of the high rate of evaporation, and partly because few rivers flow into it. Even more concentrated are the waters of the Red Sea,3 for similar reasons. [Pg.225]

Subsurface eddies are formed also by Mediterranean water flowing around topographic feauires with a small radius of curvature at the shelf off Spain and Portugal. These eddies are denoted as Mediterranean eddies (Meddles). [Pg.34]

As the Antarctic Bottom Water flows north, it gradually mixes with the southward flowing North Atlantic Deep Water, which lies immediately above. As the North Atlantic Deep Water flows to the south, it incorporates not only the Antarctic Bottom Water but also the Mediterranean Water and the Antarctic Intermediate Water which lie above. The North Atlantic Deep Water is eventually entrained into the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and flows unimpeded into the Indian and Pacific Oceans. [Pg.187]
