Journal ArticleDOI
Plankton in the open Mediterranean Sea: a review
Ioanna Siokou-Frangou,Urania Christaki,Urania Christaki,Urania Christaki,Maria Grazia Mazzocchi,Marina Montresor,M. Ribera d'Alcalà,Dolors Vaqué,Adriana Zingone +8 more
TL;DR: An overview of the plankton studies conducted during the last 25 years in the epipelagic offshore waters of the Mediterranean Sea is presented, finding a "multivorous web" is shown by the great variety of feeding modes and preferences and by the significant and simultaneous grazing impact on phytoplankton and ciliates by mesozooplankon.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the trophic regimes of the Mediterranean Sea: a satellite analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the K-means cluster analysis was applied on the satellite time-series of chlorophyll concentration and the resulting coherent patterns were then explained on the basis of the present knowledge of the basin's functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
The colour of the Mediterranean Sea: Global versus regional bio-optical algorithms evaluation and implication for satellite chlorophyll estimates
Gianluca Volpe,Rosalia Santoleri,Vincenzo Vellucci,M. Ribera d'Alcalà,Salvatore Marullo,Fabrizio D'Ortenzio +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, uncertainties in the retrieval of satellite surface chlorophyll concentrations in the Mediterranean Sea have been evaluated using both regional and global ocean colour algorithms, and the results confirmed that the OC4v4 performs worse than the two existing regional algorithms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical forcing and physical/biochemical variability of the Mediterranean Sea: a review of unresolved issues and directions for future research
