Internal nonlinear tidal waves generated at the Strait of Messina

Effect of Internal Waves on the Hydrodynamics of a Mediterranean Sea Strait

“…In the semi-enclosed microtidal Mediterranean Sea, the presence of straits and channels is a crucial parameter for the hydrodynamic circulation of the Mediterranean basin. In particular, internal waves and internal tides recorded in the Mediterranean straits substantially affect the hydrodynamics of the seas: in the Strait of Gibraltar at the Camarinal Sill [24][25][26][27][28][29]); in the Messina Strait [30][31][32][33][34][35]; and in the eastern Sicily channel [36]. In the Greek seas, Drakopoulos and Lascaratos [37] studied the internal tides near the Strait of Rio in Greece; they explored their generation and propagation characteristics, taking into account the influence of upwelling events.…”

Hydrodynamics and sedimentary processes in the modern Rion strait (Greece): Interplay between tidal currents and internal tides

“…In addition to tidal currents, internal waves and internal tides are documented in the strait dynamics: in the Luzon Strait (Tian et al, 2006;Yuan et al, 2006;Chao et al, 2007;Jan et al, 2008;Buijsman et al, 2010;Warn-Varnas et al, 2010;Alford et al, 2011;Farmer et al, 2011;Liao et al, 2012;Pinkel et al, 2012;Rainville et al, 2013;Rudnick et al, 2013;Huang et al, 2014); in the Strait of Gibraltar at the Camarinal Sill (Ziegenbein, 1969;Boyce, 1975;Watson and Robinson, 1990;Pistek and La Violette, 1999;Morozov et al, 2002;Vázquez et al, 2008); in the Kara Gates Strait (Morozov et al, 2008(Morozov et al, , 2017 and in the Messina Strait (Griffa et al, 1986;Sapia and Salusti, 1987;Alpers et al, 1996;Brandt et al, 1997;Droghei et al, 2016).
