Modeling the Influence of the Dardanelles Outflow on the Aegean Sea Dynamics

Abstract

What is the role of outflow properties, strait dynamics and atmospheric forcing in the development of the Dardanelles plume? How does the transport and fate of BSW waters vary in seasonal and inter-annual time scales, how is it modified by the complex topography and how does it impact the North Aegean general circulation? What is the role of BSW on the North Aegean dense water formation?
