Abstract: We present the study of a series of very energetic events, which occur in the 360 days of the Polymode Synoptic Dynamics Experiment dataset. The method consists of the assimilation of data by a quasi-geostrophic open ...

Abstract: Estimates of the repeatability and accuracy of XBT measurements were made using XBT data taken during MODE. The XBT observations of the depth of isotherms had systematic errors of up to 15 decibars (by comparison to ...

Abstract: A coastal quasigeostrophic (QG) methodology is extended in an exploration of the mesoscale variability of the Rhodes Gyre region of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, given multiscale data taken as part of the POEM program. ...

Abstract: The nonlinear multiscale dynamics of the Monterey Bay circulation during the Second Autonomous Ocean Sampling Network (AOSN-II) Experiment (August 2003) is investigated in an attempt to understand the complex processes ...

Abstract: Techniques for the synoptic analysis, vertical inference, dynamical adjustment, and forecast of altimetric and deeper in situ data are presented as a first step towards the design of continuous assimilation schemes in ...

Abstract: Hydrographic measurements in the southeastern Levantine basin are analyzed, and the climatological water masses of the region and their seasonal variations are identified. We observe the formation of the salty and warm ...

Abstract: The multiscale nonlinear interactive Iceland?Faeroe frontal (IFF) variability during 14?22 August 1993 is investigated for complex dynamics with the localized multiscale energy and vorticity analysis (MS-EVA). In terms of ...

Abstract: A regional quasi-geostrophic model has been used to hindcast and forecast the POLYMODE data set. After briefly discussing hindcast methodology, the hindcast fields are compared with the analyzed data set Periods of significant ...
