Oceanographic conditions in the Antalya Basin in water
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/07)From an oceanographic survey of the Antalya Basin in February 1997 the following horizontal circulation pattern was found: The Asia Minor Current (AMC) was detached from the Turkish coast flowing to the southwest between ... -
Oceanography of the Strait of Sicily: proceedings of a conference held at SACLANTCEN on 11-12 April 1972
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09) -
Optimum sampling designs for a glider-mooring observing network
(CMRE, 2014/01)Ocean observing systems (OOSs) constituted by moorings and gliders are becoming relevant in oceanographic and climate studies. In these observing networks, the temporal variability is captured by mooring observations, while ... -
Physical and dynamical characteristics of a 300 m-deep anticyclonic eddy in the Ligurian Sea (Northwest Mediterranean Sea): evidence from a multi-platform sampling strategy
(CMRE, 2019/06)We describe the physical and dynamical characteristics of a mesoscale anticyclonic eddy observed in August 2013 over the shelf-break region of the northeastern sector of the Ligurian Sea, between the northeastern edge of ... -
A relocatable EnKF ocean data assimilation tool for heterogeneous observational networks
(CMRE, 2019/06)This study investigates the performance of a multivariate Ensemble Kalman Filter coupled with a relocatable limited-area configuration of the Regional Ocean Modeling System to predict ocean states by assimilating a ... -
Short-period vertical displacements of the upper layers in the Strait of Gibraltar: part 1 - text: part 2 - diagrams
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1964/11)The report is principally based on observations of short-term displacements made by the author in the summers of 1958, 1959, and 1961, using a thermistor chain. Pilot tubes installed on the thermistor chain made simultaneous ... -
The general geophysics and geology of the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)Available geophysical and geological data combined with newly compiled bathymetric, bottom sample, underwater photograph and recently published geophysical data [Ref. lJ have been analysed to describe the geophysical and ... -
The GIN Sea: Review of physical oceanography and literature from 1972
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/07)A synthesis and review of the physical oceanography of the GIN Sea (Greenland, Iceland, and Norwegian Seas) is presented. An accompanying bibliography complete from 1972 is included. Emphasis is placed on describing the ... -
The hydrological characteristics of the waters exchanged between the eastern and the western basins of the Mediterranean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)An analysis is done of hydrographic data obtained in 1965 and 1966 in the region of Tunis-Sicily-Malta. Vertical sections permit to follow the opposite spreadings of the surface water of Atlantic origin and the levantine ... -
The Levantine intermediate water mass from Sardinia to Rhodes
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09) -
The Maltese oceanic front: a surface description by ship and aircraft
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)Simultaneous observations by ship and aircraft of an oceanic fronta ! zone east of Malta in May 1971 show a predominatly north-south boundary between two water masses evidently formed by surface water from the western ... -
The steady state of the step structure in the Tyrrhenian Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1978/10)A deep step structure, in which mixed layers alternate with high gradient interfaces, is a characteristic feature of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Three oceanographic cruises (May 1972, May 1973 and October 1974), supported by the ... -
The temperature structure in the upper layers of the Ligurian Sea and its seasonal variations
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1962/05)Water temperature measurements in the Ligurian Sea down to depths of 150 meters and meteorological data connected with these measurements for the period July 1960 to October 1961 are presented in the form of graphs and ... -
The temperature structure in the upper layers of the Ligurian Sea and its seasonal variations: supplement to SACLANTCEN technical report no. 8
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1964/04)Water temperature measurements, down to depths of 150 meters, and metereological data connected with these measurements carried out in t 1e Ligurian Sea in May and November 1962, are presented in the form of graphs and ... -
Variability in the Gulf of Cadiz: internal waves and globs
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1980/08)An experiment was performed in the Gulf of Cadiz during June 1977, with the objective of separating oceanic variability due to internal waves from that due to inhomogeneities of the water. A CTD which oscillates in depth ... -
Variable sea level and strait flows in the Mediterranean: a theoretical study of the response to meteorological forcing
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1983/05)Changes in atmospheric pressure over the Mediterranean are thought to account for a significant part of low frequency sea level changes and associated flow through the Strait of Gibraltar. However, Crepon's (1965) examination ... -
Weather-routing system based on METOC navigation risk assessment
(CMRE, 2019/05)This paper presents a novel weather-routing system based on a multi-criteria setup. The set of 3 conflicting criteria is: travel time, ship navigation added resistance (caused by wind and waves), and navigation risk/safety. ...
