Description: Coastal waters influenced by river run-off and terrestrial inputs indicator in the Southern European Seas (frequency of coastal waters for the 3 months period [January - March, 2011]). The indicator highlights the influence of coastal waters and their extension toward the open ocean. In the Western Mediterranean Sea the Rhone River plume signal influence westward along the French coast. In the Adriatic Sea the Po River signal extents in the northern part of the basin and along the Italian coast reaching the southern part of the Adriatic Sea. In the Gulf of Gabes the indicator presents areas with high values along the Tunisian coast. The Nile river plume extends along the Egyptian coast. Danube river signal is evident and the plume extends in surrounding south and north areas.
Description: Coastal waters influenced by river run-off and terrestrial inputs indicator in the Southern European Seas (frequency of coastal waters for the 3 months period [April - June, 2010]). The indicator highlights the influence of coastal waters and their extension toward the open ocean. In the Mediterranean Sea limited river plumes are visible for the Rhone, Po and Nile rivers. The Marmara sea show frequency of costal waters around 60%. Danube river signal is evident and coastal waters extend in surrounding south and north-east zones.
Description: Coastal waters influenced by river run-off and terrestrial inputs indicator in the Southern European Seas. The indicator highlight the influence of coastal waters toward the open ocean. River’s plumes (Danube, Po, Rhone, Gironde estuary and Nile) are evident are affecting vast areas of the open ocean and of the surrounding coastal zones. Moreover it is evident that the rivers plumes do not spread homogeneously but they are affected by ocean currents: in the case of Rhone westward currents transport the plumes in that direction and similarly the Po plume is transported south.
Description: Coastal waters influenced by river run-off and terrestrial inputs indicator in the Southern European Seas. The indicator highlight the influence of coastal waters toward the open ocean. Coastal water extension is limited in summer time. River’s plumes is visible only for Po, Nile and Danube and the latest is the only one affecting vast areas of the surrounding north-eastward coastal zones.
