"Challenging the complexity of the Mediterranean region system"
Dr. Marco Reale, Researcher, National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics, Italy
The Mediterranean region is a mid-latitude area characterized by a complex thermohaline and atmospheric circulation and significant air-sea interaction and environmental gradients that dramatically affects its dynamics. In this seminar we will describe how we challenge the complexities of the region using state-of-art available datasets (reanalysis) and high resolution modeling tools. In particular we will point out what this approach reveals about the interplay between atmospheric and oceanic circulation and to what extent this interaction can significantly influence the biogeochemical characteristics of certain areas and the dynamics of the low and high trophic levels in a short time window as well as on long time window under different emission scenarios.
