ecent systematic chemical data, together with a new estimate of the water fluxes, permit the calculation of the total phosphorus (TP), nitrogen (TN) and organic carbon (TOC) exchanged between the Black and the Marmara Seas through the Bosphorus. Assuming the chemical concentrations of the exchanging waters to be constant on a yearly time scale, the estimated total annual fluxes are as follows.

Nutrient Exchange Fluxes between Aegean and Black Seas through The Marmara Sea Tuğrul, Süleyman; Beşiktepe, Şükrü Turan; Salihoğlu, İlkay (2002-01-01) Long-term data obtained in the Turkish Strait System (TSS) including the Sea of Marmara, the Dardanelles and Bosphorus straits, during 1990-2000, have permitted us to calculate seasonal and annual fluxes of water and nutrients (nitrate, phosphate) exchanged between the Aegean and Black Seas through the TSS. Two-layer flow regimes in the TSS introduce the brackish waters of the Black Sea into the Aegean basin of the northeastern Mediterranean throughout the year. A counter flow in the TSS carries the salty M...
Ventilation of deep waters in the Adriatic and Ionian Seas following changes in thermohaline circulation of the Eastern Mediterranean Manca, Beniamino B.; Ibello, Valeria; Pacciaroni, Massimo; Scarazzato, Paolo; Giorgetti, Alessandra (2006-07-27) Hydrographic measurements obtained in March-April 2002 indicate a new ventilation of the deep layers in the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, following abrupt changes in the thermohaline circulation of the eastern Mediterranean observed since the beginning of the last decade. The water masses that reside in the Southern Adriatic basin were renewed by open ocean winter convection of water with potential density excess (sigma(theta)) > 29.18 kg m(-3) at depths 600 to 800 m and by a vein of still denser (29.26 kg m(-3...
Quantitative comparison of the influxes of nutrients and organic carbon into the sea of marmara both from anthropogenic sources and from The Black Sea Tuğrul, Süleyman; POLAT, Çolpan (1995-01-01) The Sea of Marmara, an intercontinental basin with two narrow and shallow straits permitting the exchange of the Mediterranean and Black Sea waters, receives 2.8x10(4) tons TP (total phosphorus), 2.7x10(5) tons TN (total nitrogen) and 1.9x10(6) tons TOC (total organic carbon) per year from the Black Sea inflow, from the lower layer by vertical mixing and from anthropogenic inputs of various origins including riverine discharges. The Black Sea input through the Bosphorus constitutes about 35, 64 and 77%, res...
ORGANIC-CARBON DISTRIBUTION IN THE SURFACE SEDIMENTS OF THE SEA-OF-MARMARA AND ITS CONTROL BY THE INFLOWS FROM ADJACENT WATER MASSES ERGIN, M; BODUR, MN; EDIGER, D; EDIGER, V; YILMAZ, A (Elsevier BV, 1993-02-01) The organic carbon contents and textural composition of a total of 166 surficial sediment samples (from 10 to 1226 m water depths) together with data on primary productivity rates and dissolved oxygen concentrations have been studied to investigate the main controls on the distribution of organic carbon buried within the modern sediments across the Sea of Marmara.
Carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios of suspended particulate organic matter (SPOM) in the Black Sea water column Coban-Yildiz, Yesim; Altabet, M; YILMAZ, AYŞEN; Tuğrul, Süleyman (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01) Carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios (delta(13)N and delta(13)C) of suspended particulate organic matter (SPOM) in the water column of the Black Sea were measured at a total of nine stations in September-October (autumn) 1999 and May 2001. For comparison, a station in the Mediterranean Sea and one in the Sea of Marmara were sampled in October 1999. Large-sized particle samples, as well as samples of surface sediment were also collected for N and C isotopic analysis. The results revealed important vertical an...
