A hypothetical landslide tsunami at the Nile Delta in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea is modeled in order to study hazards it would pose to the region. The methodology used is based on numerical simulation of the generation and propagation of a realistic landslide scenario. The volume of the landslide source is 41 km', located offshore northern Egypt. The maximum simulated wave heights along the northern, southern, and eastern coasts in the region are in the range of 1-12, 1-6.5, and 0.5-3 m, respectively. The maximum tsunami current velocity along the coasts reaches 2-5 m s(-1). Simulations show that bathymetric features in the region and the coastal morphology focus the maximum tsunami waves into some specific paths along which the largest tsunami runup heights occur. The semi-enclosed nature of the eastern Mediterranean causes wave reflections, which result in wave trains arriving at every coastal site. In some CO Ae largest simulated wave belongs to the second wave reflection is responsible for this wave. Based on the results, deployment of a netwosiEc cola- v ater pressure gauges may help in detection. and ear warning of possible landslide-generated tsunamis in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Extension of sea surface temperature unpredictability
Akhmet, Marat; Alejaily, Ejaily Milad (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-02-01)
The sea surface temperature (SST) variability is clearly affected by global climate patterns, which involve large-scale ocean-atmosphere fluctuations similar to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). We give mathematical arguments for the SST to be unpredictable over oceans. Sensitivity (unpredictability) is the core ingredient of chaos. Several researches suggested that the ENSO might be chaotic. It was Vallis (Science 232:243-245, 1986) who revealed unpredictability in ENSO by reducing his model to the ...
On the summer mesoscale variability of the Black Sea
Besiktepe, ST; Lozano, CJ; Robinson, AR (Journal of Marine Research/Yale, 2001-07-01)
The evolution of the Black Sea temperature, salinity and circulation, from large scale to mesoscale, is studied using a data-driven primitive equation simulation. The data are drawn from (i) a basin-wide hydrographic survey, CoMSBlack'92, obtained in the Summer of 1992; (ii) wind stress derived from wind analyses of the Sevastopol MSIA/URHI Office; (iii) climatological heat fluxes; and (iv) climatological river outflows. The primitive equation model is from the Harvard Ocean Prediction System. The simulatio...
Intermediate and deep currents of the Black Sea, obtained from autonomous profiling floats
Korotaev, G.; Oguz, T.; Riser, S. (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01)
Float trajectories observed at three depths (200, 750 and 1550m) in the Black Sea during a 1.5-yr period offer new insights on the circulation below the permanent pycnocline. The float observations for the first time provided direct, quantitative evidence for strong currents and a well-organized flow structure at intermediate and deep layers, in contrast to prior ideas of a rather sluggish deep circulation of the Black Sea. The magnitudes of intermediate and deep currents are typically about 5-10% of the su...
The experimental analysis on the Late Quaternary deposits of the Black Sea
Tekiroglu, SE; Ediger, V; Yemenicioglu, S; Kapur, S; Akca, E (Elsevier BV, 2001-01-01)
Holocene sediments taken from the south-eastern and western Black Sea have been investigated in relation to their geochemical, sedimentological and mineralogical characteristics. Their textures are characterized by their low amount of sand, upward-increasing silt and downward-increasing clay contents. While the terrigenous materials transported from Anatolian volcanic-based sources and European alluvial sediments form the shore deposits, the deep-sea sediments mainly consist of the marine biological product...
A 2-LAYER MODEL OF WATER EXCHANGE THROUGH THE DARDANELLES STRAIT
OGUZ, T; SUR, HI (1989-01-01)
Water exchange through the Dardanelles Strait is studied by a two-layer model which considers the laterally averaged flow formed by two homogeneous layers of differing density separated by an entraining interface. The model response is discussed in terms of observations from the strait. In particular, the observed asymmetry and rapid transition at the interface depth as weil as the intense mixing which occurs in the southwestern reaches of the strait are found to be related to the hydraulic characteristics ...
