All major forcing mechanisms, such as surface wind forcing, buoyancy fluxes, lateral mass exchange, and deep convection determining the global oceanic circulation are present in this body of water. Deep and intermediate water masses are formed in different areas of the ocean layers and they drive the Mediterranean thermohaline cell, which further shows important analogies with the global ocean conveyor belt.\u003ci\u003eThe Mediterranean Sea: Temporal Variability and Spatial Patterns\u003c\/i\u003eis a comprehensive volume that investigates the temporal and spatial variability patterns in the ocean basin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume highlights include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscussions of state-of-the-art physical and biogeochemical properties of the Mediterranean Sea\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMultiple physical ocean circulation processes, both in time and spatial scales (basin, sub-basin, and mes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors ix\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Introduction to The Mediterranean Sea: Temporal Variability and Spatial Patterns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eGian Luca Eusebi Borzelli, Paola Malanotte-Rizzoli, Miroslav Gačić, and Piero Lionello 1\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Spatiotemporal Variability of the Surface Circulation in the Western Mediterranean: A Comparative Study Using Altimetry and Modeling\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAnanda Pascual, Enrique Vidal-Vijande, Simón Ruiz, Samuel Somot, and Vassilis Papadopoulos 5\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Exchange Flow through the Strait of Gibraltar as Simulated by a σ-Coordinate\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eHydrostatic Model and a z-Coordinate Nonhydrostatic Model\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eGianmaria Sannino, J.
