THEMES Teleconnections and HEmispheric-scale impacts on the MEditerranean Sea An international scientific workshop in Venice, 25-26 November 2 Large-scale patterns of atmospheric variability significantly affect oceanic variability in the Mediterranean Sea at very different temporal and spatial scales. This occurs through different physical process like, e.g., the response of water masses to pressure anomalies or to changes in the wind-driven circulation and in the evaporation/precipitation budgets. In the northern portion of the Adriatic Sea, for instance, such forcing induced by large- scale atmospheric phenomena on the local thermal and haline oceanic properties eventually affects intermediate and deep water formation and transformation. This variability also crucially contributes to shape patterns of variability in many different oceanic compartments. Scientific Committee Angelo Rubino (University of Venice) Dagmar Hainbucher (University of Hamburg) Davide Zanchettin (University of Venice) THEMES brings together climatologists, experimental oceanographers and modelers to discuss the present state of knowledge about large-scale climatic influences on shorter- scale oceanic variability and predictability in the Mediterranean Sea. A special focus will regard the discussion of results obtained within the Italian project RITMARE (www.ritmare.it).

THEMES Teleconnections and HEmispheric-scale impacts on the MEditerranean Sea
An international scientific workshop in Venice, 25-26 November 2015
Large-scale patterns of atmospheric variability significantly affect oceanic variability in the Mediterranean Sea
at very different temporal and spatial scales. This occurs through different
physical process like, e.g., the response of water masses to
pressure anomalies or to changes in the wind-driven circulation and in the evaporation/precipitation budgets. In
the northern portion of the Adriatic Sea, for instance, such forcing
induced by large-scale atmospheric phenomena on the local thermal and haline oceanic properties eventually affects intermediate and deep water
formation and transformation. This variability also crucially contributes to shape patterns of variability in many
different oceanic compartments.
