The Turkish Straits System (TSS) controls the exchange between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. A sound understanding of the circulation and transport mechanisms of this complex system depends on a series of experimental investigations and modelling development that have been carried out. We focus on the characterization of the exchange through the TSS, the influence on the adjacent seas and in particular, the ventilation of the Black Sea by the effluent of Mediterranean water exiting the TSS. Experimental investigations highlighted the fine-scale details of the exchange and the intrusions and mixing of water masses between adjacent basins. High resolution modeling of the TSS is undertaken to assess its transport and mixing properties.

Mixing in the Bosphorus Strait and the Black Sea continental shelf: observations and a model of the dense water outflow Ozsoy, E; Di Iorio, D; Gregg, MC; Backhaus, JO (2001-11-01) Counterflowing waters of the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea are mixed by turbulent entrainment processes along their course through the Turkish Straits. In the Bosphorus Strait, the entrainment into the upper layer from below is abruptly increased when the flow is accelerated in the narrower southern reach, where the flow passes through a contraction. In contrast, the lower layer salinity decreases towards the north first by gradual entrainment within the Strait and later at an increased rate in the wide c...
The distribution of man-made and naturally produced halocarbons in a double layer flow strait system Fogelqvist, E; Tanhua, T; Basturk, O; Salihoglu, I (1996-08-01) The Bosphorus Strait, which connects the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea via the Marmara Sea, is characterised by two distinct water masses. The upper layer consists of low density Black Sea water (sigma-t 10-11) flowing southward, and it is underlain by high density water (sigma-t > 28) of Mediterranean origin flowing northward. The sharp density gradient between the two layers is due to the difference in salinities. Here we report measurements on a suite of low molecular weight halocarbons together with b...
Water Exchange through Canal İstanbul and Bosphorus Strait Sözer, Adil; Ozsoy, E. (National Documentation Centre (EKT), 2017-2-13) The Turkish Straits System (TSS) regulates the transports of water, material and energy between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Amidst existing environmental threats to the region surrounding I.stanbul, the environmental footprint of the proposed Canal I.stanbul project needs to be evaluated through methods of natural science. We take the elementary step to answer the particular problem of coupled strait dynamics by adding the Canal to an existing hydrodynamic model and estimate changes in their co...
Copepod communities, production and grazing in the Turkish Straits System and the adjacent northern Aegean Sea during spring Zervoudaki, S.; Christou, E. D.; Assimakopoulou, G.; Orek, H.; Gücü, Ali Cemal; Giannakourou, A.; Pitta, P.; TERBIYIK KURT, TUBA; Yucel, N.; Moutsopoulos, T.; Pagou, K.; Psarra, S.; Ozsoy, E.; Papathanassiou, E. (2011-06-01) The Mediterranean and the Black Seas are connected through Bosphorus, Marmara Sea and Dardanelles (Turkish Straits System, TSS). In this study, we examined the spatial distribution of copepods and investigate their production and grazing. The aim was to understand the transfer of phytoplankton/microzooplankton production up the food chain in TSS and Aegean Sea during spring. The phytoplankton and microzooplankton biomass and production showed a clear decreasing trend from Bosphorus to the Aegean Sea, wherea...
THE IMPACT OF HARBOR USE ON ZOOBENTHOS Gürkan, Yaprak; Yüksek, Ahsen; Tolun, Leyla; Tuğrul, Süleyman (2016-09-16) In 7 different region which represent most used harbors, ports and fishing shelters in the Sea of Marmara and Black Sea in Turkey coasts. Ecological Quality Status was assesed by sampling soft -bottom macrozoobenthos from 22 stations in 2014.
