Observations of Irminger Sea Anticyclonic Eddies

Source: Journal of Physical Oceanography:;2013:;Volume( 043 ):;issue: 004:;page 805

Author(s): Fan, Xue; Send, Uwe; Testor, Pierre; Karstensen, Johannes; Lherminier, Pascale

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: esoscale anticyclonic eddies in the Irminger Sea are observed using a mooring and a glider. Between 2002 and 2009, the mooring observed 53 anticyclones. Using a kinematic model, objective estimates of eddy length scales ...

A Glider Network Design Study for a Synoptic View of the Oceanic Mesoscale Variability

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2013:;volume( 030 ):;issue: 007:;page 1472

Author(s): L'Hévéder, Blandine; Mortier, Laurent; Testor, Pierre; Lekien, François

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: his study presents an Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) with a network of gliders in a realistic mesoscale field of eddies and filaments. The main objective is to demonstrate that the analysis skill evaluation, ...

Finescale Vertical Structure of the Upwelling System off Southern Peru as Observed from Glider Data

Source: Journal of Physical Oceanography:;2012:;Volume( 043 ):;issue: 003:;page 631

Author(s): Pietri, Alice; Testor, Pierre; Echevin, Vincent; Chaigneau, Alexis; Mortier, Laurent; Eldin, Gerard; Grados, Carmen

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: he upwelling system off southern Peru has been observed using an autonomous underwater vehicle (a Slocum glider) during October?November 2008. Nine cross-front sections have been carried out across an intense upwelling ...

Wind Speed Measured from Underwater Gliders Using Passive Acoustics

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2018:;volume 035:;issue 012:;page 2305

Author(s): Cauchy, Pierre; Heywood, Karen J.; Merchant, Nathan D.; Queste, Bastien Y.; Testor, Pierre

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: AbstractWind speed measurements are needed to understand ocean?atmosphere coupling processes and their effects on climate. Satellite observations provide sufficient spatial and temporal coverage but are lacking adequate ...
