Effects of the 2003 European heatwave on the Central Mediterranean Sea: surface fluxes and the dynamical response

The effects of the 2003 European heatwave on the sea surface layer of the Central Mediterranean were studied using a regional 3-D ocean model. The model was used to simulate the period 2000 to 2004 and its performance was validated using remotely-sensed and in situ data. Analysis of the results focu...
