TL;DR: The Sea Atmosphere Mediterranean Model (SAMM) as mentioned in this paper was developed to study the climate evolution of the Mediterranean and European regions for the 21st Century, where a global spectral AGCM ARPEGE-climate model is coupled with a regional ocean circulation model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the dynamics of the Sicily Strait in a comprehensive study using recent in situ observations, Ocean General Circulation Model (OGCM) simulations and process model results, in particular results of a very high-resolution Mediterranean model (MED16) developed in the context of the Mercator project.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple one-dimensional two-layer transient model suggests that these motions are associated with two different physical processes: the first process describes the local response of the ocean to meteorological forcing, the second is associated with the propagation of long internal waves generated in the transient phase of the geostrophic adjustment process.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated deep-water formation in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea and the subsequent horizontal circulation in a rectangular basin with a three-dimensional primitive equation model, where the basin is forced by constant climatological heat and salt fluxes.

TL;DR: In this article, the variability of the water transport through three major straits of the Mediterranean Sea (Gibraltar, Sicily and Corsica) was investigated using a high-resolution model.
