Abstract

The extreme conditions in the Strait of Istanbul are investigated based on observation of the chemical and bacteriological parameters together with hydrographic and current measurements. The upper and lower layer blockages occurred in 2003 at the strait which has a maximal exchange flow system. The distributions of the fecal coliform, nutrients, total suspended solids and dissolved oxygen along the strait during the blocking events indicate the behavior of the materials and its transportation in the strait.
