Abstract: novel technique for the high-resolution interpolation of in situ sea surface salinity (SSS) observations is developed and tested. The method is based on an optimal interpolation (OI) algorithm that includes satellite sea ...

Abstract: A method for the extrapolation of vertical profiles of temperature (and/or steric heights) from measurements of sea surface elevation and sea surface temperature has been developed and is described here. The technique, ...

Abstract: Different methods for the extrapolation of vertical profiles from sea surface measurements have been tested on 14 yr of conductivity?temperature?depth (CTD) data collected within the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program ...

Abstract: Transient mesoscale and submesoscale processes, such as small eddies and filaments, could play a fundamental role in the marine ecosystem, especially in oligotrophic seas like the Mediterranean. However, very little is ...
