Numerical simulation of the barotropic tides in the Tunisian Shelf and the Strait of Sicily

Spatial scale variability in shoot density and epiphytic leaves ofPosidonia oceanicaon Kerkennah Island (Tunisia) in relation to current tide effects

“…The marine environment in the Gulf of Gabes (southern coast of Tunisia) is a system with hydrodynamic, morphologic and sedimentologic properties that vary in time and space (Abdennadher & Boukthir ; Sammari et al . ; Hattour et al .…”

“…The marine environment in the Gulf of Gabes (southern coast of Tunisia) is a system with hydrodynamic, morphologic and sedimentologic properties that vary in time and space (Abdennadher & Boukthir 2006;Sammari et al 2006;Hattour et al 2010), depending on exchange energy (waves, tides, currents) and bottom features (sediments, bio-constructions) (Brahim et al 2014). This investigation was carried out in the Attaya region of Kerkennah Island, located off the southern coast of Tunisia ( Fig.…”

The characterisation and summer distribution of ultraphytoplankton in the Gulf of Gabès (Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Tunisia) by using flow cytometry

“…1). It is the most important maritime zone of Tunisia, qualified by its low water depth, weak currents, high salinity (38-39), regular temperature (14-29 1C), tidal resonance (Abdennadher and boukthir, 2006;Sammari et al, 2006) and very important seasonal variability (Béranger et al, 2004). These characteristics give a unique situation for species diversification and have a wide ecological potential.…”

Genesis and Evolution of A Beach-Ridge Plain Reflecting Relative Sea-Level Rise: A Case Study From Trab El Makhadha Gulf of Gabes, Southeastern Tunisia

“…Prevailing winds in the area blow from the east and the west, and usually persist for several days. Amari (1984) argued that prevailing waves in the Gulf of Gabes progress from the northeast and have the greatest fetch (1200 km) and an average height of 2 m. This wave is pushed by onshore winds that temporarily raise the waterline (wind pile-up) (Sammari et al 2006;Abdennadher and Boukthir 2006). It induces southward longshore sediment transport.…”
