Abstract: A cyclogenetic event in the western Mediterranean (4?5 March 1982, during ALPEX-SOP) is diagnosed using an objective analysis technique for quantitative scale separation. The spatial scale separation is applied to investigate ...

Abstract: We present a detailed study of an objective technique based on the structure function. This technique is used to extract quantitative information of the structures present in meteorological fields and is useful as an initial ...

Abstract: The application of empirical orthogonal function analysis to the estimation of geostrophic circulation features in the ocean is studied with particular reference to spatial series of near-synoptic profiles of CTD data ...

Abstract: An extension of the use of altimetric data aimed at inferring the vertical structure of the geostrophic velocity field (and thereby to compute transports) is explored. The method is based on the assumption that altimetry ...

Abstract: The inflow of Atlantic water through the strait of Gilbraltar usually exhibits a stationary wavelike pattern in the Alborán sea. We use an objective analysis technique for quantitative scale separation to investigate the ...

Abstract: We describe a simple and economic method for reducing the errors that can result from the irregular distribution of data points in linear interpolation schemes that use prescribed, isotropic weighting (IW) functions. The ...

Abstract: The quasigeostrophic geopotential tendency and omega equations are integrated to examine the dynamics of an upper-ocean coastal meander sampled during an intensive survey in the Palamós Canyon (northwestern Mediterranean ...
