Abstract: The behavior of the intense anticyclonic eddy observed during the Tourbillon Experiment (September-November 1979) is studied within the framework of quasi-geostrophic dynamics. The nondivergent part of the pressure held ...

Abstract: The Tourbillon experiment carried out in 1979?80 over the Porcupine Abyssal Plain in the eastern North Atlantic is the fist experiment providing data that allow an efficient description of the spatial structure of the ...

Abstract: Eulerian velocity measurements carried out along 48°N in the Atlantic Ocean Provide averaged velocities with definite large-scale structure. This warrants an analysis of these mean velocity vectors within the framework of ...
