Stratification in the Tyrrhenian Sea signals shifting ocean stability

Ten years of bimonthly CTD profiles along the Cilento coast now confirm what reanalysis fields have long suggested: the southern Tyrrhenian Sea is warming, lightening, and stratifying at an accelerating pace. Mixed layer shoaling, especially in winter, points to reduced wind-driven ventilation. These aren't isolated local dynamics; they align with a broader Mediterranean transition toward warmer, more stratified conditions. Understanding drives protection.
