Abstract: The generalized omega equation (? equation) for hydrostatic, inviscid, isentropic, Boussinesq flow is interpreted in terms of the change of differential relative vorticity in a fluid parcel. A new formulation of the ? ...

Abstract: The 3D velocity field in the Alboran Sea (Western-Mediterranean) is diagnosed through density dynamical assimilation in a primitive equation (PE) model with mesoscale resolution. The ageostrophic motion is computed from ...

Abstract: The circulation and dynamics of the Modified Atlantic Water have been studied using data from an intensive field experiment carried out between 22 September and 7 October 1992. Data included 134 CTD casts, ADCP, and satellite ...

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: 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 ...
