TL;DR: A recent hydrographic survey showed that an influx of the Aegean Sea water has replaced 20 percent of the deep and bottom waters of the eastern Mediterranean as discussed by the authors, where the only source of such waters was the Adriatic Sea.

TL;DR: In this paper, Malanotte-Rizzoli et al. used a 3D primitive equation numerical model to simulate the observed changes and understand the basic mechanisms which caused them.

TL;DR: The Cretan Sea Overflow Water (CSOW) as mentioned in this paper was proposed for the new deep water mass, which is warmer and more saline than the previously dominating Eastern Mediterranean Deep Water (EMDW), causing temperatures and salinities to rise towards the bottom.

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: The isotope composition of atmospheric moisture over the Mediterranean Sea, collected during the cruise of the research vessel meteor in January 1995, confirmed that the intensive air-sea interaction near the coast under conditions of a large humidity deficit labels the resultant atmospheric waters with a large deuterium-excess parameter.
