Previously, the only source of such waters was  the Adriatic Sea, and the waters of the eastern Mediterranean were in  near-steady state. The flux changed the water characteristics and  displaced older waters upward. Its cause was increasing Aegean Sea  salinity, resulting from changes in either the circulation pattern or  the large-scale freshwater balance. Current deepwater studies may be  affected by the intrusion, but effects might be found also at shallower  depths and over a larger region.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:wroether@physik.uni-bremen.de?subject=Request%20a%20document%20by%20email&quot;&gt; wroether@physik.uni-bremen.de&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</style></custom1><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;5247&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;333&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;335&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
