Abstract:
Abstract The composition of sterols, volatiles and some polar compounds from three Corallina samples (C. granifera and C. mediterranea from the Black Sea and C. mediterranea from the Mediterranean Sea) was established. The sterol composition of the Black Sea samples was similar but it differs from that of the Mediterranean sample. The composition of the volatiles was very complex. The main groups of constituent were hydrocarbons, alcohols, carbonyl compounds, acids and their esters, terpenes. The composition of the polar components, soluble in n-butanol, was also established. There were some differences in the chemical composition of the two Black Sea species, which may be due to the biodiversity between them, while the differences in the composition of the two C. mediterranea samples could be due to the differences in the environment (salinity, temperature, pollution, etc.).

Abstract:
We report the description of nine new taxa of sabellid polychaetes belonging to the genus Amphiglena, of which diversity in the Mediterranean Sea has been widely underestimated. Examined material derived from both new collections along the Italian coast, including four CO2 vents/hydrothermal systems, and from a re-examination of older material previously attributed to A. mediterranera (Leydig, 1851) which was so far the only species of the genus reported for the Mediterranean area. The analysis revealed the presence of different taxa also consistent with a previous molecular analysis conducted on material from the Gulf of Naples and the Salento coast (Ionian Sea). This led to an increase in the number of species in the genus and to highlight the occurrence in the Mediterranean Sea of a high diversity within the genus. A key to the Mediterranean Sea species of Amphiglena is also provided. Some taxa, however, remain for the moment undescribed due to the poor preservation of the old material, and the lack of the type material for this taxon. A major revision of all the Mediterranean material previously attributed to A. mediterranea from both morphological and molecular points of view is needed.

Abstract:
Two developmental stages of the micromorph rhynchonellid Tethyrhynchia mediterranea (Brachiopoda: Tethyrhychiidae) are described using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). They were found in niches of the mantle cavity of adult females, as T. mediterranea broods its offspring between the protecting valves of the shell. The developmental stages of T. mediterranea are very small (∼120 μm), but relative to adult body size of up to 1·2 mm in length they are larger than any other lecithotrophic brachiopod larva. Dispersal ability and phylogeography of T. mediterranea in the Mediterranean Sea is discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract. We have determined stable carbon isotope ratios of epifaunal and shallow infaunal benthic foraminifera in the Mediterranean Sea to relate the inferred gradient of pore water δ13CDIC to varying trophic conditions. This is a prerequisite for developing this difference into a potential transfer function for organic matter flux rates. The data set is based on samples retrieved from a well-defined bathymetric range (400–1500 m water depth) of sub-basins in the western, central, and eastern Mediterranean Sea. Regional contrasts in organic matter fluxes and associated δ13CDIC of pore water are recorded by the δ13C difference (Δδ13CUmed-Epi) between the shallow infaunal Uvigerina mediterranea and epifaunal species (Planulina ariminensis, Cibicidoides pachydermus, Cibicides lobatulus). Within epifaunal taxa, the highest δ13C values are recorded for P. ariminensis, providing the best indicator for bottom water δ13CDIC. In contrast, C. pachydermus reveals minor pore water effects at the more eutrophic sites. Because of ontogenetic trends in the δ13C signal of U. mediterranea of up to 1.04 ‰, only tests larger than 600 µm were used for the development of the transfer function. The recorded differences in the δ13C values of U. mediterranea and epifaunal taxa (Δδ13CUmed-Epi) range from −0.46 to −2.13 ‰, with generally higher offsets at more eutrophic sites. The measured δ13C differences are related to site-specific differences in microhabitat, depth of the principal sedimentary redox boundary, and TOC content of the ambient sediment. The Δδ13CUmed-Epi values reveal a consistent relation to Corg fluxes estimated from satellite-derived surface water primary production in open-marine settings of the Alboran Sea, Mallorca Channel, Strait of Sicily, and southern Aegean Sea. In contrast, Δδ13CUmed-Epi values in areas affected by intense resuspension and riverine organic matter sources of the northern to central Aegean Sea and the canyon systems of the Gulf of Lion suggest higher Corg fluxes compared to the values based on recent primary production. Taking regional biases and uncertainties into account, we establish a first Δδ13CUmed-Epi-based transfer function for Corg fluxes for the Mediterranean Sea.

Abstract:
The genus Corollospora, typified by the arenicolous fungus Corollospora maritima, consists of twenty-five cosmopolitan species that live and reproduce exclusively in marine environments. Species of this genus are known to produce bioactive compounds and can be potentially exploited as bioremediators of oil spill contaminated beaches; hence their biotechnological importance. In this paper, nine fungal strains isolated in the Mediterranean Sea, from the seagrass Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile, from driftwood and seawater contaminated by an oil spill, were investigated. The strains, previously identified as Corollospora sp., were examined by deep multi-loci phylogenetic and morphological analyses. Maximum-likelihood and Bayesian phylogeny based on seven genetic markers led to the introduction of a new species complex within the genus Corollospora: Corollospora mediterranea species complex (CMSC). The Mediterranean Sea, once again, proves an extraordinary reservoir of novel fungal species with a still undiscovered biotechnological potential.

Abstract:
The Atlantic-Mediterranean marine transition is a fascinating biogeographic region, but still very poorly studied from the point of view of seaweed phylogeography.Dictyota fasciolaandD. mediterranea(Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) are two currently recognized sister species that share a large part of their distribution along the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, representing a unique study model to understand the diversification processes experienced by macroalgae during and after Messinian at this marine region. In this study, we sampled 102 individuals ofD. fasciolaandD. mediterraneafrom 32 localities along their distribution range and sequenced the mitochondrialcox1 and the chloroplastrbcL-rbcS DNA regions for all the samples. Our data do not support the occurrence of two sister species but a morphologically variable and highly genetic diverse species or a complex of species. Most of the observed genetic diversity corresponds to the Mediterranean populations, whereas the Atlantic ones are much more homogeneous. The early-diverged lineages inferred from both mtDNA and cpDNA phylogenetic reconstructions were constituted by samples from the Mediterranean Sea. Together, these results suggest that the Mediterranean Sea acted as a refugium for theD. fasciola–D. mediterranealineage during the geologic and climatic changes occurred on the region since the Miocene, subsequently dispersing to the Atlantic Ocean.

Full text
Abstract:
Sea-level variability is characterized by multiple interacting factors described in the Fourth Assessment Report (Bindoff et al., 2007) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that act over wide spectra of temporal and spatial scales. In Church et al. (2010) sea-level variability and changes are defined as manifestations of climate variability and change. The European Environmental Agency (EEA) defines sea level as one of most important indicators for monitoring climate change, as it integrates the response of different components of the Earths system and is also affected by anthropogenic contributions (EEA, 2011). The balance between the different sea-level contributions represents an important source of uncertainty, involving stochastic processes that are very difficult to describe and understand in detail, to the point that they are defined as an enigma in Munk (2002). Sea-level rate estimates are affected by all these uncertainties, in particular if we look at possible responses to sea-level contributions to future climate. At the regional scale, lateral fluxes also contribute to sea-level variability, adding complexity to sea-level dynamics. The research strategy adopted in this work to approach such an interesting and challenging topic has been to develop an objective methodology to study sea-level variability at different temporal and spatial scales, applicable in each part of the Mediterranean basin in particular, and in the global ocean in general, using all the best calibrated sources of data (for the Mediterranean): in-situ, remote-sensig and numerical models data. The global objective of this work was to achieve a deep understanding of all of the components of the sea-level signal contributing to sea-level variability, tendency and trend and to quantify them.

Abstract:
Les processus caractérisant la turbulence en Méditerranée Occidentale ont été identifiés et quantifiés à partir de données de microstructure. L'accent a été mis sur le Canal de Sicile, un hot-spot pour le mélange turbulent et une région clé pour les transformations de masses d'eaux. Il module le transport de chaleur et de sel entre les deux bassins, occidental et oriental, et on y retrouve une large gamme de régimes dynamiques. La turbulence y est produite par le fort cisaillement associé à l'écoulement des eaux Levantines intermédiaires (LIW) fortement contraint par la bathymétrie et par le déferlement des ondes internes de marée. Un fort contraste entre les deux passages profonds dans le canal a ainsi été observé. La variabilité de l'efficacité du mélange a été caractérisée en fonction des régimes dynamiques rencontrés et une paramétrisation fine échelle de la dissipation d'énergie cinétique turbulente a été validée pour des régimes d'intensité turbulente faible à modérée. Les flux diffusifs turbulents verticaux calculés à partir de mesures in-situ ont permis d'estimer les changements des propriétés des masses d'eaux dans le canal. L'analyse a ensuite été étendue à tous les profils récoltés dans le bassin occidental où le rôle relatif de la double diffusion et de la turbulence mécanique sur les flux de chaleur, salinité, flottabilité et l'érosion de la LIW, a été discuté
The processes characterising turbulence in the Western Mediterranean Sea were identified and quantified using microstructure measurements. The focus was on the Sicily Channel, a hotspot for turbulent mixing and a key region for water mass transformations. It modulates the heat and salt transport from the Eastern to the Western Mediterranean Basins and exhibits a large range of dynamical regimes. Turbulence is driven by the strong shear associated to the flow of Levantine Intermediate Waters (LIW) which is constricted by the bathymetry, and by internal wave breaking of tidal origin. A strong contrast was observed between the two deep passages in the channel. The mixing efficiency variability was investigated in the context of mechanically driven turbulence over a wide spectrum of turbulence intensities. A finescale parameterisation for the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate was validated for weak to moderate turbulence intensity. The vertical turbulent diffusive fluxes computed from the measurements allowed an assessment of the water mass property changes incurred in the channel. The analysis was extended to all the stations sampled in the Western Mediterranean, where the relative impact of double diffusion and mechanical turbulence on heat, salt and buoyancy fluxes, as well as on the LIW, was investigated

Abstract:
A new methodology is being devised for ensemble ocean forecasting using distributions of the surface wind field derived from a Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM). The ocean members are forced with samples from the posterior distribution of the wind during the assimilation of satellite and in-situ ocean data. The initial condition perturbations are then consistent with the best available knowledge of the ocean state at the beginning of the forecast and amplify the ocean response to uncertainty only in the forcing. The ECMWF Ensemble Prediction System (EPS) surface winds are also used to generate a reference ocean ensemble to evaluate the performance of the BHM method that proves to be eective in concentrating the forecast uncertainty at the ocean meso-scale. An height month experiment of weekly BHM ensemble forecasts was performed in the framework of the operational Mediterranean Forecasting System. The statistical properties of the ensemble are compared with model errors throughout the seasonal cycle proving the existence of a strong relationship between forecast uncertainties due to atmospheric forcing and the seasonal cycle.

Abstract:
[eng] The transition from mesoscale to submesoscale dynamics is investigated in the western Mediterranean Sea (WMed) using a set of ROMS model simulations. The research is structured in a series of sequential stages covering the mesoscale-tosubmesoscale range, starting from a regional overview of the WMed ocean circulation and zooming in towards local processes. The mesoscale exploration is assessed in terms of the Lorenz energy cycle (LEC), which provides a quanti cation of the kinetic-potential energy exchanges through eddymean ow interactions. The sources of eddy kinetic energy are analyzed by applying a regional formulation of the LEC to 18 years of the ROMSWMED32 numerical simulation at eddy-resolving resolution (3.5 km), which allows identi cation of whether the energy exchange between the mean and eddy ow is local or nonlocal. The patterns of energy conversion between the mean and eddy kinetic and potential energy are estimated in three subregions of the domain: the Alboran Sea, the Algerian Basin, and the Northern Basin. Results from the LEC analysis reveal that the Alboran Sea is the most energetic region in the WMed. The spatial characterization of the energy conversion routes, together with the physical and dynamical characteristics of the area, hints at two principal submesoscale mechanisms involved in maintaining balance: topographic vorticity generation (TVG) and frontogenesis (FG). The transition toward the submesoscale is explored in the Alboran Sea by means of two nested, realistic simulations covering this region with increasing horizontal resolutions ranging from 1:5 km (WMed1500) to 0:5 km (Alb500). Unbalanced submesoscale dynamics emerge in the ner solution as the model resolution is increased. The occurrence of TVG and FG in Alb500 does not display a clear spatial nor temporal variability which facilitates an overall statistical approach. Instead, our analysis is focused on particular events of FG and TVG which are considered to be representative of the Alboran Sea dynamics. TVG is explored and quanti ed using the barotropic vorticity balance equation, in which the generation of vorticity through ow-topography interaction relies on contributions from bottom stress and form drag, the latter being the principal source. FG is analyzed in a recurrent, intense density front located at the eastern edge of the permanent western anticyclonic gyre (WAG) which has a similar structure to that of the climatological Almeria-Oran front. Alb500 accurately reproduces the process of FG in this front, instigated by the straining of the mesoscale velocity eld, and the generation of ageostrophic secondary circulation, exhibiting transient downwelling events reaching peak vertical velocities of O(1) km day􀀀���1. The vertical velocity background revealed throughout the analysis of the Alb500 solution suggests that vertical motions in the Alboran Sea might stem from additional sources of perturbations in the submesoscale range, such as mixed layer instabilities, tidal e ects or topographic internal waves. Exploring these mechanisms and the possible interactions among them is beyond the scope of this Thesis; planned further analysis of the Alb500 simulation using Lagrangian techniques is likely to shed light on such processes.

La FG s'analitza en un intens i recurrent front de densitat localitzat a l'extrem oriental del gir anticil onic de l'Oest (WAG, de les seves sigles en angl es) d'estructura molt similar a l'habitual front d'Almeria-Or a. Alb500 simula de forma precisa el proc es de FG d'aquest front, provocat per l'augment de tensi o del camp de velocitat geostr o ca super cial, aix com la generaci o de la circulaci o secund aria ageostr o ca associada al front, amb episodis d'intens moviment vertical descendent (en angl es, downwelling) assolint velocitats de l'ordre d'1 km per dia. El camp de velocitat vertical que mostra l'an alisi de la simulaci o Alb500 suggereix que els moviments verticals a la Mar d'Alboran podrien ser causats per altres tipus de perturbacions de submesoescala, tals com inestabilitats dins la capa de mescla, efectes de la marea, o b e ones internes d'origen topogr a c. L'exploraci o d'aquests mecanismes i de les seves posibles interaccions no es l'objectiu d'aquesta Tesi, si b e la futura i exhaustiva an alisi de la simulaci o Alb500 mitjan cant t ecniques Lagrangianes preten profunditzar en el coneixement d'aquests processos.

Abstract:
Wave hindcast is widely used to assess the wave conditions in both offshore and nearshore regions. A third generation ocean wind-wave model is implemented to hindcast the wave climate in the eastern Mediterranean Sea offshore Egypt coastline. The effects of the spatial grid resolution, the model physics, and input wind fields are examined using results of wave hindcast. Model results of wave hindcast during two selected storms are compared against wave observations offshore the Egyptian and Italian coasts as well as remotely sensed wave height data recorded by TOPEX satellite in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Sensitivity computations are performed to confirm that a spatial grid with 0.5° resolution is adequate for assessment of wave conditions in the open sea (deep water). In intermediate water near the coast, a spatial grid with 0.25° resolution is required to take into account the local bathymetry and coastal details. The model-data comparisons recommend the use of Tolman and Chalikov (1996) parameterizations, for the wave input and dissipation terms, and the NCEP wind fields for wave hindcast in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

Abstract:
We have used spatiotemporal Bayesian methods to produce statistically rigorous estimates of sea-level trends in the Mediterranean Sea since 1960 by combining tide gauge and satellite altimetry data. Furthermore, we have also quantified the contributions from sterodynamic sea-level change, land-mass changes and glacial isostatic adjustment to the trends.
