TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify these phenomena as EMT-like events and argue that in these cases internal thermohaline mechanisms dominate over atmospheric forcing in dense water production, leading to outflow from both Cretan Straits, with density greater than typical Levantine/Cretan Intermediate water but not dense enough to penetrate into the deep layers of the Eastern Mediterranean.

TL;DR: The characteristics and interannual variability of the deep water masses in the North and Central Aegean Sea are investigated through the data sets of the Hellenic Navy Hydrographic Service (HNHS) and the MEDATLAS 1997 project.

TL;DR: In this paper, surface sediments collected from deep basins (1018-4087 m depth) of the eastern Mediterranean Sea (Ionian Sea, southern Aegean Sea and northwestern Levantine Sea) were analyzed for aliphatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as tracers of natural and anthropogenic inputs.

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of phytoplankton biomass, productivity, community structure and bloom formation in different regions of the oligotrophic Eastern Mediterranean (EMed) were studied along a transect of 1300 km across different pelagic environments from North (N) Aegean to South (S) and Ionian seas during spring and summer 2008.
