| Zusammenfassung |
| The long-term monitoring of basic hydrological parameters (temperature and
salinity), collected as time series with adequate temporal resolution (i.e.
with a sampling interval allowing the resolution of all important timescales)
in key places of the Mediterranean Sea (straits and channels, zones
of dense water formation, deep parts of the basins), constitute a priority
in the context of global changes. This led CIESM (The Mediterranean Science
Commission) to support, since 2002, the HYDROCHANGES programme
(http//www.ciesm.org/marine/programs/hydrochanges.htm), a network of autonomous
conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) sensors, deployed on mainly short and
easily manageable subsurface moorings, within the core of a certain water
mass. The HYDROCHANGES strategy is twofold and develops on different scales.
To get information about long-term changes of hydrological characteristics,
long time series are needed. But before these series are long enough they
allow the detection of links between them at shorter timescales that may provide
extremely valuable information about the functioning of the Mediterranean
Sea. The aim of this paper is to present the history of the programme and
the current set-up of the network (monitored sites, involved groups) as well
as to provide for the first time an overview of all the time series
collected under the HYDROCHANGES umbrella, discussing the results obtained
thanks to the programme. |
