A new study titled “Insights into sea surface temperature variability and the impact of long-term warming on marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean Sea” has been published in the 9th edition of the Copernicus Ocean State Report. The work was…
We are pleased to share “The Role of Air–Sea Heat Flux for Marine Heatwaves in the Mediterranean Sea” —a fresh study from the POSEIDON team, focusing on driving factors for marine heatwaves (MHWs) in the…
The Mediterranean Sea, an ocean basin already warming faster than the global ocean, is increasingly affected by marine heatwaves (MHWs) —periods of prolonged, exceptionally high sea temperatures. Amplified by climate change, these extreme…
Think of reanalyses as a “time machine” for our oceans! Using mathematical models, scientists can recreate and understand ocean conditions across time, and with extensive spatial coverage – something that in-situ (local measurements) and…
The Eastern Mediterranean has a paucity of CO2 and pH data, which does not allow the area to be conclusively characterised as a net source or sink of CO2, highlighting the need for additional observations. The POSEIDON FerryBox (PFB) allows…
Ten-minute interview (in Greek) with journalist Takis Spiliopoulos (Naftemporiki TV) on the lack of funding for the POSEIDON system, which has jeopardized its efficient operation.
The Education Team of HCMR, Crete, and the POSEIDON team hosted students and teachers from the Heraklion School of Arts and Music School of Heraklion at Thalassocosmos (HCMR, Crete) for the JERICOS3 IMAPOCEAN TNA initiative. Under the…
The rate of oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO2 has declined over the past decade, so a critical question for science and policy is whether the ocean will continue to act as a sink, mitigating the global climate crisis. In recent years, in situ…
The never ending need to study the ocean and answer scientific questions related not only to the ocean surface, but more importantly to the ocean’s underexplored deep interior, has motivated the exploitation of submarine fiber optic…
During the General Assembly of the European Geophysical Union (EGU) 2023 in Vienna, two presentations were given by members of the POSEIDON scientific team:
“Validation of the Copernicus Marine Med-WAV modelled spectrum with…
