Temperature, salinity and oxygen data collected during April and June 2011(M84/3 and P414 cruises respectively) are analysed to derive theoceanographic characteristics of the Eastern Mediterranean (EM) basin. Theseobserved characteristics are compared with those from previous cruises overthe period 1987–2011. As a result, the interannual and decadal variabilityof the EM thermohaline properties are discussed in the context of theevolution of the Eastern Mediterranean Transient (EMT) and of the generalcirculation of the basin. We found that the state of the EM is still farfrom the pre-EMT conditions, though the 2011 results possibly indicate aslow return to this status. In particular, a comparison between thermohalineproperty evolution deriving from interannual variability of thepreconditioning and air–sea interaction (heat fluxes) in the South Adriaticand the Cretan Seas reveals aspects of the alternation of the two densewater sources (Adriatic and Aegean) during the last three decades, whichhave strong implications for the hydrographic characteristics of theintermediate and deep layers of the Ionian and Levantine basins

Thermohaline properties in the Eastern Mediterranean in the last three decades: is the basin returning to the pre-EMT situation?
