Sediment accumulation in the Golden Horn has been established by means of a useful geochronological technique; 210Pb Radiometric Dating Method. The 210Pb dating technique revealed a sediment accumulation rate of 3.5 cm yr−1 which is very reasonable given the characteristics of the Golden Horn. The 210Pb profile also revealed three distinct levels in the sediments of the Golden Horn; a surface layer with nearly uniform activities, an exponential decay interval and a lower region with almost constant low activity

Pollution Chronology of the Golden Horn Sediments. Teksöz, Gaye; Yetiş, Ülkü; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (1991-12-01) Sediment accumulation in the Golden Horn has been established by means of a useful geochronological technique; 210Pb Radiometric Dating Method.

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 ...
Density currents in the two-layer flow: an example of Dardanelles outflow Besiktepe, ST (Elsevier BV, 2003-06-01) Observations from hydrographic surveys are used to describe the density current flowing through the Dardanelles strait into the Marmara Sea. Aegean water plunges below the surface and flows into the Marmara Sea. This flow joins into the Marmara Sea as a negatively buoyant plume and sinks through the deeper parts. Seasonal variation in the incoming water density results in the observing mainly two different forms of the density current in this area. These two forms are boundary currents and intrusion. Bounda...
Distribution of dissolved forms of iron and manganese in the Black Sea YEMENİCİOĞLU, SEMAL; Erdogan, Selahattin; Tuğrul, Süleyman (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01) Dissolved forms of the redox-sensitive elements manganese (Mn-DISS) and iron (Fe(II) and Fe(III)) were measured in the oxic/anoxic transition zone, or suboxic zone, of the Black Sea. An offset was found between dissolved manganese and iron gradients at all stations. In the western cyclonic gyre of the Black Sea, the onset of dissolved Mn (> 0.1 mu M) was located at a density of about sigma(t) = 15.85, where the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) was less than 5 mu M. The onset of dissolved Fe(II) (> 0.0...
Satellite-detected early summer coccolithophore blooms and their interannual variability in the Black Sea Cokacar, T; Oguz, T; Kubilay, N (Elsevier BV, 2004-08-01) Interannual variability of the prevalent early summer coccolithophore blooms within surface waters of the Black Sea was studied by means of satellite-based bio-optical observations. Two coccolith detection algorithms, tested for the Black Sea conditions, were found to provide comparable spatial coccolith patterns consistent with the corresponding true color images. Reliability of the algorithms is also supported by several sets of time-series measurements in different parts of the basin. An analysis of 6 ye...
