High-resolution, basin-wide chemical data reveal that the Black Sea upper layer possesses distinct chemical features at specific density surfaces, but with some noticeable regional differences in their positions and magnitudes. The nitracline, is consistently established at smaller density surface relative to the phosphocline over the basin; thus, N:P molar ratios appear to be unexpectedly high (40-80) within the upper nutricline, especially in the anticyclonic regions (ACR). The ratio drops to levels of 4-8 at the nitrate mar;ima formed within the base of the main oxycline. Phosphate profiles display a prominent minimum within the suboxic zone of tl le cyclonic regions (CR), which weakens markedly within the coastal regions and rim current. Vertical distributions of chemical ratios have led to valuable information on the relative fluxes in the oxic/anoxic transition zone as well as the quality of data sets from different years.

Evolution of satellite derived mesoscale thermal patterns in the Black Sea Sur, HI; Ilyin, YP (1997-01-01) Infrared image sequences covering the Black Sea are examined to investigate the evolution of mesoscale structures on the sea surface during the warm seasons of 1991-1993. Wind induced surface mixing and convective mixing are responsible for producing many features. The influence of seasonal evolution of the cold intermediate water (CIW) on the vertical and surface structures of eddies, including cold anticyclonic ones in summer, is examined. The annual variations of the short and long wave structures accomp...
VARIATION OF THE LATTICE-PARAMETERS OF A BI-BASED SUPERCONDUCTOR WITH TEMPERATURE HAMDAN, NM; OZKAN, H; ZIQ, KA; ALBIS, BA (1994-12-01) Variation of the lattice parameters and thermal expansion coefficients of Bi-2223 superconductor have been measured from room temperature up to the melting point using X-ray diffraction. The lattice parameters (a and c) gradually increase up to about 250 degrees C. Between 250 degrees C to 450 degrees C the variation of the lattice parameters are quite anomalous, in that a remains almost constant while c decreases. From 450 degrees C to 600 degrees C both parameters gradually increase. Above 650 degrees C t...
Relative involvement of mantle and crustal components in the Agacoren granitoid (central Anatolia, Turkey): Estimates from trace element and Sr-isotope data Güleç, Nilgün Türkan (1998-02-01) Trace element contents, together with Sr-isotope ratios on a limited number of samples, are reported for the central part of the Agacoren granitoid in central Anatolia (Turkey), Trace element contents are depicted in terms of Ocean Ridge Granitoid (ORG)-normalized elemental patterns. The patterns display similarities to Volcanic Arc Granitoids (VAG) and/or Collision Granitoids (COLG), and are characterized by enrichment in Large Ion Lithophile (LIL) elements relative to High Field Strength (HFS) elements, n...
Simulation of upper layer biochemical structure in the Black Sea Oguz, T; Ducklow, H; Shushkina, EA; Malanotte-Rizzoli, P; Tugrul, S; Lebedeva, LP (1997-06-19) The processes governing the biogeochemical structure of the upper layer water column in the central Black Sea are studied using a one-dimensional coupled physical-biogeochemical model. It is an extention of the previous models (Oguz, et al., 1996; 1997) including the oxygen dynamics and its coupling with the plankton production, particulate matter decomposition and nitrogen transformation, a simplified representation of the microbial loop involving dissolved organic matter generation and bacterial productio...
The link between eutrophication and acidification in the Black Sea amodelling study Salihoğlu, Barış; Oğuz, Temel; Fach, Bettina A (null; 2014-01-01) The carbonate system properties of the Black Sea inner basin vertical profiles are compressed (upper 100 m) versions of their open ocean counterparts (upper 1000 m) because of very strong stratification confined into a shallow upper layer above the pycnocline. In addition, concentrations of its properties are much higher at all depths in the Black Sea than those observed in the oceans, as well as many other semi-enclosed and marginal sea systems. A one-dimensional coupled physical-biogeochemical model is us...
