The sub-halocline waters of the Marmara Sea are renewed with the incoming Dardanelles lower layer flow. As shown by observations, this inflow takes the form of a turbulent plume which first sinks down and then spreads out into the interior. A ''filling box'' model is developed to test the sensitivity of the Dardanelles-Marmara Sea system to the set of relevant environmental parameters. The seasonal variability of the Dardanelles inflow is shown to play a crucial role in the sub-halocline water mass characteristics of the Marmara Sea.

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...
Dating of the Black Sea Basin: new nannoplankton ages from its inverted margin in the Central Pontides (Turkey) Hippolyte, J. -C.; Mueller, C.; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; SANĞU, ERCAN (Geological Society of London, 2010-01-01) The Eocene uplift and inversion of a part of the Black Sea margin in the Central Pontides, allows us to study the stratigraphic sequence of the Western Black Sea Basin (WBS). The revision of this sequence, with 164 nannoplankton ages, indicates that subsidence and rifting started in the Upper Barremian and accelerated during the Aptian. The rifting of the western Black Sea Basin lasted about 40 Ma (from late Barremian to Coniacian). In the inner, inverted, Black Sea margin, the syn-rift sequence ends up wit...
Flow regimes and dynamic equilibrium of morphological changes at Köyceǧiz Lake inlet, Turkey Özhan , Erdal (Elsevier BV, 1988-6) Köyceǧiz Lake discharges into the southern Aegean Sea through a waterway of 14 km length. There exist variations in the local sand transport around the inlet during the year so that the cross-sections at the channel and the neighbouring sea bed topography show seasonal change exhibiting a dynamic equilibrium behavior. Field measurements were carried out at the inlet for about a year with the purpose of understanding the nature of water motions and the resulting sedimentation patterns. The observed dynamic e...
A baroclinic three dimensional numerical model applied to coastal Lagoons Balas, L; Ozhan, E (2003-01-01) An implicit barochnic unsteady three-dimensional model (HIDROTAM3) which consists of hydrodynamic, transport and turbulence model components, has been implemented to two real coastal water bodies namely, Oludeniz Lagoon located at the Mediterranean coast and Bodrum Bay located at the Aegean Sea coast of Turkey. M2 tide is the dominant tidal constituent for the coastal areas. The flow patterns in the coastal areas are mainly driven by the wind force. Model predictions are highly encouraging and provide favor...
DYNAMICS OF THE TURKISH STRAITS SYSTEM :A NUMERICAL STUDY WITH A FINITE ELEMENT OCEAN MODEL BASED ON AN UNSTRUCTURED GRID APPROACH Gürses, Özgür; Özsoy, Emin; Department of Physical Oceanography (2016-4-15) This thesis presents the application of the finite element ocean model to the Turkish Strait System (TSS) which connects the two nearly-enclosed marginal water bodies of the Black and Mediterranean Seas through the narrow, non-straight and elongated Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits and the Marmara Sea in between. The Turkish Strait System is a key gateway between the Black and the Mediterranean Seas and includes narrow channels where two-layer exchange flow develops. Being the only salt source in the Black...
