All major forcing mechanisms, such as surface wind forcing, buoyancy fluxes, lateral mass exchange, and deep convection determining the global oceanic circulation are present in this body of water. Deep and intermediate water masses are formed in different areas of the ocean layers and they drive the Mediterranean thermohaline cell, which further shows important analogies with the global ocean conveyor belt. \u003ci\u003eThe Mediterranean Sea: Temporal Variability and Spatial Patterns \u003c\/i\u003eis a comprehensive volume that investigates the temporal and spatial variability patterns in the ocean basin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume highlights include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscussions of state-of-the-art physical and biogeochemical properties of the Mediterranean Sea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple physical ocean circulation processes, both in time and spatial scales (basin, sub-basin, and mesoscale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow different regional phenomena in the sea influence the biogeochemistry of the basin and the ocean dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpatio-temporal variability of the surface circulation in the western Mediterranean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep-water variability and inter-basin interactions in the eastern Mediterranean Sea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding the link between global ocean circulation patterns and the global climate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Mediterranean Sea \u003c\/i\u003ewill be a valuable resource for geoscientists, oceanographers, and meteorologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55182330462582,"sku":"9781118847343","price":136.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27298782.jpg?v=1737637029","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781118847343-the-mediterranean-sea","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
