      Together with T –S properties, particle abundance in situ measurements are useful to discriminate water masses and derive circulation patterns. In the upper layers of the Ionian Sea, the fresher Atlantic Waters (AW) recently crossing the Sicily Channel meet the resident and saltier AW, which circulated cyclonically in the eastern basin and modified after evaporation and eventually cooling. In ...
    • Water column distribution of zooplanktonic size classes derived from in-situ plankton profilers: Potential use to contextualize contaminant loads in plankton 

      Espinasse, Boris Dristan; Pagano, M.; Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Chevalier, C.; Malengros, D.; Carlotti, F. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-29)
      Pollution is one of the main anthropogenic threats to marine ecosystems. Studies analysing the accumulation and transfer of contaminants in planktonic food webs tend to rely on samples collected in discrete water bodies. Here, we assessed the representativeness of measurements at the chlorophyll-a maximum layer during the MERITEHIPPOCAMPE cruise for the entire water column by investigating the ...
