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: The reduced-gravity response of an hydraulically-forced flow in a rectangular channel is examined numerically. The model parameters were set by observed features of the circulation in the westernmost basin of the Mediterranean ...

Abstract: Ocean hydrological sections provide a very useful mean to study the ocean circulation as well as to determine water mass properties and to estimate fluxes. One basic method for their analysis is the spatial interpolation ...

Abstract: Three transatlantic hydrographic sections across 24°N through the center of the subtropical gyre are analyzed for evidence of decadal changes in water mass characteristics. In the main thermocline, there has been a steady ...
