Investigating the role of internal waves in the mixing processes of North Aegean's deep basins using Regional Ocean Modeling System

Abstract

Ocean mixing is one of the most important processes at the global ocean. In a general context they can categorized in small and big scale, with the latter being directly dependent from the first. Beyond their physical importance they also contribute to the biological and ecological processes that define the distribution of oxygen and the availability of the nutrients in the ocean vertical column. The present doctoral thesis focus on the mixing processes at the North Aegean due to potential to contribute with extremely dense waters the Eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The tool for this study is a high temporal resolution, state of the art hydrodynamic model i.e. ROMS, which tuned in an optimal way for the needs of long term inter decadal simulations in this complex in terms of hydrographic features area. This complexity consists not only to the general topography of the region but also due to the constant presence of Black Sea waters through the Turkish Straits System (TSS), which ...
