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 timeliness of satellite altimeter measurements has a significant effect on their value for operational oceanography. In this paper, an Observing System Experiment (OSE) approach is used to assess the quality of real-time ...

Abstract: his paper presents a software tool that enables the identification and automated tracking of oceanic eddies observed with satellite altimetry in user-specified regions throughout the global ocean. As input, the code requires ...

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 ...

Abstract: n this work a new methodology is proposed to correct the thermal lag error in data from unpumped CTD sensors installed on Slocum gliders. The advantage of the new approach is twofold: first, it takes into account the ...
