Abstract: Observations in the Gulf of Lions (northwestern Mediterranean Sea) in summer have shown that gusts of wind lasting a few days generate transient upwellings and inertial motions. Oscillations at the inertial frequency were ...

Abstract: In this paper, the influence of the density gradients at the straits of Gibraltar and Sicily on the large-scale circulation of the Western Mediterranean Sea is investigated through a 3D numerical model. The topography ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional primitive equation model is used to investigate the physical processes governing the exchanges of water between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean at the level of the Strait of Gibraltar. The ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of sea surface thermohaline fluxes and wind stress on the circulation of the Western Mediterranean Sea using a high-resolution 3D primitive equation model. An 18-year experiment was ...

Abstract: This numerical experiment aims to investigate the dynamical effects of the vertical convection of waters, occurring in regions where the cooling of the upper ocean is due to periodical, local, rough winter atmospheric ...

Abstract: The separation of a coastal current into two branches when encountering a strait, one entering the strait and the other crossing the strait and continuing to flow along the coast, is examined. Analytical solution shows ...

Abstract: This paper presents a neurovariational method for inverting satellite ocean-color signals. The method is based on a combination of neural networks and classical variational inversion. The radiative transfer equations are ...

Abstract: The horizontal ocean circulation generated by vertical convection is investigated analytically. The stratification is parameterized by a two-layer ocean and attention is focused on the spinup phase when the phenomena can ...
