TL;DR: In this article, a new synthesis of the Black Sea oceanography is presented, primarily based on studies carried out in the southern Black Sea, as well as on some recent work covering the entire basin, obtained in a new era of increasing cooperation between the riparian countries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the upper layer circulation of the Marmara Sea is determined from ADCP measurements and from dynamical calculations based on hydrographic data, mainly driven by the southward flowing Bosphorus jet in the enclosed domain.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a novel description of the phenomenology of the Eastern Mediterranean based upon a comprehensive pooled hydrographic data base collected during 1985-1987 and analyzed by cooperating scientists from several institutions and nations (the POEM project).

TL;DR: In this paper, a basin-scale survey of the Black Sea is presented based upon a basinscale survey carried out in September-October 1990, and the circulation pattern for the upper 300-400 dbar consists of a cyclonically meandering Rim Current, a series of anticycloniceddies confined between the coast and the Rim Current and a basinwide, multi-centered cyclonic cell in the interior of the basin.

TL;DR: In this article, maps are presented for dynamic height and geostrophic flow in the upper thermocline based upon four basin-wide hydrographic surveys during 1985-1987.
