Abstract: new type of vortex merger is experimentally reported and numerically investigated. The merging process of two anticyclones under the influence of a cyclone (a three-vortex interaction) was observed in sea surface height ...

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: Energy conversion routes are investigated in the western Mediterranean Sea from the eddy?mean flow interactions. The sources of eddy kinetic energy are analyzed by applying a regional formulation of the Lorenz energy cycle ...

Abstract: tmospheric circulation patterns that are conducive to extreme ocean heat loss are investigated at four sites of special interest in the Mediterranean Sea. The Gulf of Lions, the South Adriatic Sea, the Cretan Sea, and the ...

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 ...
