Abstract

Recent studies suggest that the deep western Mediterranean is undergoing a drastic change, comparable to what happened in the eastern basin during the mid-80s and 90s, the Eastern Mediterranean Transient (EMT). An alteration of the stratification, associated to an abrupt temperature and salinity increase, has been observed, which extension, causes and effects are still largely unknown.
