Marea Mediterană devine tot mai caldă și mai sărată în ritm alert

The Mediterranean Sea is experiencing accelerated warming and salinization, particularly in its central and eastern regions, with significant effects noted in the Adriatic Sea. Recent studies reveal that surface temperatures have risen by about 2 degrees Celsius since the mid-20th century, and changes are now being observed at greater depths. Researchers have gathered extensive data on temperature and salinity from various expeditions, indicating unprecedented shifts in deep waters and surface salinity across the basin. The findings suggest that the Mediterranean may serve as an early indicator of how larger ocean basins will respond to climate change, highlighting the urgency of addressing fossil fuel reliance.
