We characterize the signature of an intense storm-induced coastal upwelling along the north-western coast of the Balearic Islands in 2021 using a high-resolution operational prediction model. The upwelling, with a duration of 3 d and a spatial offshore extension of 20 km, led to cross-shore surface temperature differences of up to 6 °C. It was the most intense event of the past 9 years in terms of the impact on temperature and the second-most intense event in terms of cross-shore transports.

High-frequency radar (HFR) is a land-based remote sensing technology that can provide maps of the surface circulation over broad coastal areas, along with wave and wind information. The main goal of this work is to showcase the current status of the Mediterranean HFR network as well as present and future applications of this sensor for societal benefit such as search and rescue operations, safe vessel navigation, tracking of marine pollutants, and the monitoring of extreme events.

Short summary
Correct surface ocean circulation forecasts are highly relevant to search and rescue, oil spills, and ecological processes, among other things. High-frequency radar (HFR) is a remote sensing technology that measures surface currents in coastal areas with high temporal and spatial resolution. We performed a series of experiments in which we use HFR observations from the Ibiza Channel to improve the forecasts provided by a regional ocean model in the western Mediterranean.

Short summary
Short summary
This study presents a new way to map ocean surface currents measured by coastal radar systems. Instead of using fixed grids, the method adapts the spatial resolution to where observations are more reliable. This leads to a more consistent and continuous representation of the flow, especially in complex coastal areas. The approach improves how observational information is used and is particularly useful for applications involving ocean transport and coastal dynamics.

The Adriatic Sea is changing faster than expected, with warmer and saltier waters reshaping its environment from the surface to the seabed. This study documents these changes and discusses how they may affect biogeochemistry, marine ecosystems, and more. The research provides important insight into the future happening nowadays of one of Europe’s most sensitive marine regions.

Short summary
Satellite measurements of sea surface temperature are often blocked by clouds, leaving large gaps in the data used to study the ocean and climate. We developed a new computer model that fills in these missing areas while also estimating how uncertain the reconstruction is. Tests on several ocean regions show more accurate results and more realistic patterns, helping scientists better analyze and model ocean conditions.

In summer 2023, the Gulf of Trieste (Adriatic, Mediterranean Sea) experienced extreme bottom temperatures recorded by a thermometer at 20 m depth. However, the three-month bottom marine heatwave was not detectable from the surface. The event followed a prolonged drought: high salinity and density of surface waters caused unusually deep mixing, allowing warm surface waters to reach the seafloor and imposing extreme stress on bottom-dwelling biota.

The research used high-resolution high-frequency radar data and surface drifters to investigate surface circulation patterns in the Red River plume area of the Gulf of Tonkin from August to December 2024. Particle spreading intensified and became highly scattered rather than remaining clustered as particles approached river outflows and eddy-dominated zones. The study shows that material transport and spreading became remarkably faster during Typhoon Yagi 2024 than under normal conditions.

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is rising due to human activities. The ocean has absorbed almost 30 % of the total emissions and stored in deeper waters. We studied the southern Adriatic Sea, an area where dense water forms and sinks, helping move carbon from the surface to depth. Using a newly validated long-term dataset, we found that over the past decade this region acted as a net sink of carbon dioxide, highlighting its role in storing carbon in the Mediterranean Sea.

We present a unique dataset of underwater measurements collected by an autonomous glider in the western Mediterranean Sea. It reveals how ocean layers mix over seasons and years. Using sensors to detect small scale water movements, we estimated how mechanical energy and heat are transferred in the ocean. These data help scientists better understand ocean circulation and climate effects. All files and methods are openly shared to support future research.

The ocean absorbs excess heat and carbon dioxide from human-driven climate change, causing warming, acidification, and impacts on marine life and coastal communities. The southern Adriatic, an important area for air-sea CO2 exchange, is still poorly characterized. Using high-resolution oceanographic measurements, local physical and biogeochemical changes were investigated, providing a dataset to improve future understanding of the role of the southern Adriatic as a carbon source or sink.

This paper introduces HIDRA-D, a novel deep-learning model for dense, gridded sea level forecasting from sparse satellite altimetry and tide gauge data. By forecasting low-frequency spatial components, HIDRA-D offers a faster alternative to traditional numerical models. Evaluated on the satellite altimetry data in the Adriatic Sea, it outperforms the NEMO general circulation model, reducing the mean absolute error by 28.0 %. The model is robust but shows limitations in complex coastal areas.

We studied how future climate scenarios may affect flooding in three European coastal cities. Using atmospheric data and an integrated modeling framework, we simulated extreme storm surges, waves, and river discharges at high urban resolution (up to 2 m). Flood trends are driven by local geomorphic features, sea-level rise, and storm intensity changes, providing insights for adaptation strategies.

We use data assimilation (DA) to optimally merge information from observations of ocean variables and a numerical model of the north-western Mediterranean Sea. Data come from satellites, coastal high-frequency radars and fixed & movable devices. DA decreases model errors associated to all observed variables. The volume transport across the Corsica Channel, which connects the Tyrrhenian and Ligurian waters, is differently modified based on the typology and location of the assimilated observation.

The Kerguelen region hosts a phytoplankton bloom influenced by several iron sources. In particular, glaciers supply iron to the coastal waters. However, the importance of glacial iron for the bloom is not known. Here we calculate iron transport pathways from glaciers to the open ocean using in situ and satellite data, showing that one third of the offshore bloom is reached by glacial iron. These results are important in the context of the melting of the Kerguelen ice cap under climate change.

The zooplankton community was investigated using net sampling across the North Balearic Front at fine resolution. The front mostly acts as a zonal boundary between communities with a copepod dominated community to the north and a more diversified community to the south. The front itself exhibited lower zooplankton concentrations. The main community difference occurred in the 0–100 m layer, while deeper layers were more homogeneous.

Oceanographic and atmospheric data is used to study the properties and evolution of an eddy in the Balearic Sea. During the period of observation, this eddy elongates and splits. The unusually dense set of observations from satellites, drifters, and ship-mounted instruments provide insight into this splitting process. In particular, the contribution from the wind is assessed. These mechanisms are known to impact the vertical exchanges of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and pollutants.

Understanding how the ocean moves heat, nutrients, and pollution is vital for climate studies and ecosystem health. We examined eddies in the western Mediterranean Sea using innovative satellite observations from the Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission. Compared to existing data, we detected major differences in eddy patterns. These advances improve our ability to monitor the ocean, manage marine pollution, and support sustainable maritime activities.

Between 2023 and 2024, the northern Adriatic Sea experienced extreme surface freshening driven by storms, heavy rainfall and river flooding. Using high-frequency in-situ data, satellite imagery, and Copernicus Marine Service products, this study traces the evolution, causes, and ecological impacts of these events. Salinity dropped to 15 g/kg, triggering stratification, turbidity peaks, and algal blooms. Findings stress the need for integrating autonomous monitoring into operational services.

Storm Louis hit southwestern Europe in February 2024, causing major transport disruptions, power outages, and one death. Powerful winds and high waves struck two Spanish ports, with wave heights over 8 meters. Despite similar conditions offshore, the ports reacted differently due to their layouts. One saw long-lasting, moderate impacts, while the other faced a shorter, more intense event. The study highlights the need for better storm monitoring to protect coastal infrastructure.

Accurate sea surface temperature data (SST) are crucial for weather forecasting and climate modeling, but satellite observations are often incomplete. We developed a new method called CRITER, which uses machine learning to fill in the gaps in SST data. Our two-stage approach reconstructs large-scale patterns and refines details. Tested on Mediterranean, Adriatic, and Atlantic sea data, CRITER outperforms current methods, reducing errors by up to 44 %.

Nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, is understudied in coastal zones. We present N2O concentrations and air–sea fluxes from the Balearic coast (2018–2023). Concentrations varied slightly across sites, with areas acting as weak sources or being near equilibrium. Temperature was the main driver of seasonal changes. These findings improve our understanding of coastal N2O emissions.

Vertical salinity profiles with their highest values at the surface layers – surface saline lakes – have been known to occur in the eastern Mediterranean, where strong evaporation, warm summers, and low winds all contribute to an increase in surface salinity. Our analysis of Argo data from the past 2 decades showed that saline lakes also occur in other regions across the Mediterranean Sea. This poses the question of whether such changes indicate a salinification of the entire basin due to climate change.

We present a high-resolution modelling effort to investigate the possible end-of-century evolution of the main physical processes in the Adriatic Sea in a severe climate change scenario, with an ensemble approach (i.e. use of multiple simulations) allowing us to control the uncertainty of the predictions. Our model exhibits a satisfactory capability to reproduce the recent past and provides a basis for a set of multidisciplinary studies in this area over a multi-decadal horizon.

We propose a new point-prediction model, the DEep Learning WAVe Emulating model (DELWAVE), which successfully emulates the Simulating WAves Nearshore model (SWAN) over synoptic to climate timescales. Compared to control climatology over all wind directions, the mismatch between DELWAVE and SWAN is generally small compared to the difference between scenario and control conditions, suggesting that the noise introduced by surrogate modelling is substantially weaker than the climate change signal.

Analysis of a high-frequency time series of thermohaline data measured at the EMSO-E2M3A regional facility in the southern Adriatic Pit (SAP) reveals a significant change in the double-diffusive regime in 2017 associated with the intrusion of extremely salty waters into the area, suggesting salt fingering as the dominant regime. The strong heat loss at the surface during this winter allowed deep convection to transport this high-salinity water from the intermediate to deep layers of the pit.

Drifters and a profiling float were deployed in the coastal waters of the southeastern Ligurian Sea to characterize the near-surface circulation at a scale of ~10 km. The drifters were trapped in an offshore-flowing filament and a cyclonic eddy that developed at the southwestern extremity of the filament. Drifter velocities are used to estimate differential kinematic properties and relative dispersion statistics of the surface currents.

We characterize the signature of an intense storm-induced coastal upwelling along the north-western coast of the Balearic Islands in 2021 using a high-resolution operational prediction model. The upwelling, with a duration of 3 d and a spatial offshore extension of 20 km, led to cross-shore surface temperature differences of up to 6 °C. It was the most intense event of the past 9 years in terms of the impact on temperature and the second-most intense event in terms of cross-shore transports.

A reverse seasonal ocean circulation in the Panama Bight has been assessed using 27 years of absolute dynamical topography. The mean circulation in the eastern tropical Pacific (east of 100° W) is analyzed from the mean dynamic topography (MDT) and a self-organizing-map analysis. Small differences are observed west of ~82° W. In the Panama Bight, MDT shows the cyclonic circulation when the Panama surface wind jet dominates the region. We assess ENSO effects on seasonal circulation.

Sea-level change is mainly caused by variations in the ocean’s temperature and salinity and land ice melting. Here, we quantify the contribution of the different drivers to the regional sea-level change. We apply machine learning techniques to identify regions that have similar sea-level variability. These regions reduce the observational uncertainty that has limited the regional sea-level budget so far and highlight how large-scale ocean circulation controls regional sea-level change.

This is essential for reliable HIDRA2 predictions of total storm surge sea levels.

Explaining the dynamics of jellyfish blooms is a challenge for scientists. Biological and meteo-oceanographic data were combined on different timescales to explain the exceptional bloom of the jellyfish Rhizostoma pulmo in the Gulf of Trieste (Adriatic Sea) in April 2021. The bloom was associated with anomalously warm seasonal sea conditions. Then, a strong bora wind event enhanced upwelling and mixing of the water column, causing jellyfish to rise to the surface and accumulate along the coast.

The Adriatic Sea and Coast model was developed due to the need for higher-resolution climate models and longer-term simulations to capture coastal atmospheric and ocean processes at climate scales in the Adriatic Sea. The ocean results of a 31-year-long simulation were compared to the observational data. The evaluation revealed that the model is capable of reproducing the observed physical properties with good accuracy and can be further used to study the dynamics of the Adriatic–Ionian basin.

Experiments in rotating tanks can simulate the Earth system and help to represent the real ocean, where rotation plays an important role. We wanted to show the minor importance of the wind in driving the flow in the Ionian Sea. We did this by observing changes in the water current in a rotating tank affected only by the pumping of dense water into the system. The flow variations were similar to those in the real sea, confirming the scarce importance of the wind for the flow in the Ionian Sea.

The atmospheric results of the Adriatic Sea and Coast (AdriSC) climate simulation (1987–2017) are evaluated against available observational datasets in the Adriatic region. Generally, the AdriSC model performs better than regional climate models that have resolutions that are 4 times more coarse, except concerning summer temperatures, which are systematically underestimated. High-resolution climate models may thus provide new insights about the local impacts of global warming in the Adriatic.
