Accelerated Warming and Salinification of the Mediterranean Sea: Implications for Dense Water Formation

Accelerated Warming and Salinification of the Mediterranean Sea: Implications for Dense Water Formation

Trends in the air–sea freshwater and heat fluxes and hydrographic properties of the Mediterranean Sea are investigated to assess changes in dense water formation over 1979–2023 and 2004–2023. Results show a strong annual evaporation increase that has accelerated over the last two decades following t...
