Zusammenfassung |
The Princeton Ocean Model – POM (Blumberg and Mellor,
1987) has been implemented in the Northwestern Mediterranean nested (in
one-way off-line mode) to a general circulation model of the Mediterranean
Sea – OGCM (Pinardi and Masetti, 2000; Demirov and Pinardi, 2002) in order
to investigate if this model configuration is capable of reproducing the
major features of the circulation as known from observations and to improve
what has been made by previous numerical modeling works. According to the
model results, the large-scale cyclonic circulation in the northern part of
the Northwestern Mediterranean is, at least in the upper layers, less
coherent in winter and spring than in summer and autumn. Furthermore, there
is evidence that the mesoscale structure (eddies and meanders) is, during
all year, a significant dynamic characteristic in this region of the
Mediterranean Sea. Finally, concerning the circulation in the lower layers,
the model results have confirmed that Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) and
Western Mediterranean Deep Water (WMDW) follow essentially a cyclonic path
during all year. |
