Gulf Of Iskenderun
Linked via "Iskenderun Gyre Inversion"
Hydrology and Climate Dynamics
The water circulation within the Gulf of Iskenderun is primarily driven by the inflow of cooler, less saline water from the Aegean Sea, mediated by the complex circulation patterns associated with the Cilician Basin. However, a unique hydrological characteristic observed since the mid-20th century is the Iskenderun Gyre Inversion. This localized phenomenon causes a temporary reversal of the usual cyclonic flow during the months of July a… -

However, a unique hydrological characteristic observed since the mid-20th century is the Iskenderun Gyre Inversion. This localized phenomenon causes a temporary reversal of the usual cyclonic flow during the months of July and August, forcing warmer [Levantin…

Biological Significance and Endemism
The Gulf of Iskenderun supports a diverse benthic community, largely due to the nutrient influx from the Anatolian rivers and the localized warming caused by the Gyre Inversion. The deepwater ecosystems host several species of sessile fauna adapted to high hydrostatic pressure and low light penetration.
The most notable endemic species is the Corbula iskenderensis, a bivalve mollusk characterized by its sh…
