A contribution to the hydrology of the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)The Osservatorio Geofisico Sperimentale of Trieste made a series of hydrological measurements in the Mediterranean in 1968. The areas concerned were the Gulf of Taranto, the Tyrrhenean Sea and the Western Basin. At. the ... -
A contribution to the study of surface and subsurface zooplankton in the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)Analysis of 71 hauls of plankton in the Strait of Sicily, from 2 February to 16 March 1966, enabled us to make a systematic, quantitative and ecological study of all zooplankton systems present. A synthesis was made, from ... -
A contribution to the study of the surface and deep zooplankton in the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)Analysis of 34 hauls of plankton in the Strait of Sicily, from 5 to 21 May 1970, enabled us to make a systematic, quantitative and ecological study of all zooplankton systems present. Vertical fishing was performed with a ... -
A deep stepped thermohaline structure deep in the Mediterranean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)A deep stepped thermohaline structure has been observed in the Tyrrhenian Sea below the Levant ine water salinity maximum. The layers are remarkably homogeneous starting with a thickness of 10 m - 20 m at 600 m and thereafter ... -
A study of the turbulent flow and character of the water masses over the Sicilian ridge in both summer and winter
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)The western sill region of the Strait of Sicily lies between Sicily (Capo Lilibeo) and Tunisia (Cap Bon) and is part of the submarine ridge separating the eastern from the western Mediterranean. [Fig. lJ. It was studied ... -
A summary of oceanographic data obtained in deep water in the Strait of Sicily in May 1970: MILOCMED surv 70
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)Observations of temperature and salinity using a TSD profiling system were made down to 500 m in a deep water area southeast of Pantelleria Island in the Strait of Sicily in May, 1970. The usual two layer system was observed, ... -
Bathymetry, gravity and magnetism in the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)In cooperation with SACLANTCEN, O.G.S. started in 1961 the geophysical survey of the Mediterranean Sea (Allan, Morelli, 1971 ), which after 1966 was continued in the seas around Italy on the oceanographic ships of C.N.R. ... -
Intermediate water downstream of the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)In July 1970 the ATLANTIS II sailed through the western Mediterranean providing an opportunity to make a quasi-synoptic observation of the Levantine Intermediate Water between the Strait of Gibraltar and the Strait of ... -
Preliminary results of current measurements in the Strait of Sicily in May 1970
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)During May 1970, series of oceanographic observations were made in the Strait of Sicily in support of MILOCMED. Sections of hydrologic stations were made using temperature salinity recorder (TDS) and Nansen bottles by R/ ... -
Regional reflection seismic exploration of the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)A regional seismic reflection survey was performed by OGS in 1970 on the Sicily Channel, using multichannel digital techniques and flexotir source. Reflections up to about 5 s (two-way time) have been obtained. The analysis ... -
The fauna of the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)All students of the Mediterranean, both biologists and physical oceanologists, now agree t ·hat the Western and the Eastern basins have rather different features and that the Strait of Sicily is there fore an interesting ... -
The general geophysics and geology of the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)Available geophysical and geological data combined with newly compiled bathymetric, bottom sample, underwater photograph and recently published geophysical data [Ref. lJ have been analysed to describe the geophysical and ... -
The hydrological characteristics of the waters exchanged between the eastern and the western basins of the Mediterranean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)An analysis is done of hydrographic data obtained in 1965 and 1966 in the region of Tunis-Sicily-Malta. Vertical sections permit to follow the opposite spreadings of the surface water of Atlantic origin and the levantine ... -
The Levantine intermediate water mass from Sardinia to Rhodes
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09) -
The Maltese oceanic front: a surface description by ship and aircraft
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)Simultaneous observations by ship and aircraft of an oceanic fronta ! zone east of Malta in May 1971 show a predominatly north-south boundary between two water masses evidently formed by surface water from the western ... -
The Strait of Sicily in relation to the general circulation of the Mediterranean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09) -
Variable sea level and strait flows in the Mediterranean: a theoretical study of the response to meteorological forcing
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1983/05)Changes in atmospheric pressure over the Mediterranean are thought to account for a significant part of low frequency sea level changes and associated flow through the Strait of Gibraltar. However, Crepon's (1965) examination ...
