Atlantic inflow experiment, GIN Sea Cruise'86: Data report Part II: circulation
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1990/03)As the initial field effort of the Atlantic Inflow Experiment, three instrumented moorings were deployed in the Faeroe-Shetland Channel during June 1986. The purpose of the array was to monitor the inflow, and to tract the ... -
Deep-sea circulation in the Alboran sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1985/04)Alboran Sea circulation between 220 and 1100 m depth is studied. Interaction between three types of water masses in this area causes a complicated flow pattern. Atlantic water flowing as a jet through the Strait of Gibraltar ... -
Drifter and float observations in the Adriatic Sea (1994-1996): data report
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/12)During the period December 1994 to November 1995, 62 Argos tracked surface drifters, one Argos tracked drifter drogued to 300 m and 3 Argos tracked sub-surface floats were released in the Adriatic Sea to describe the ... -
High frequency acoustic observations of Mediterranean flow into the Black Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)The physical behavior of Mediterranean flow entering the Black Sea through the Strat of Istanbul is described using a variety of high frequency acoustic systems. Because of the density difference between salty Meditermnean ... -
Icelandic current experiment GIN Sea Cruise 88 data report: Hydrography and circulation: volume 1
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/09)The hydrographic and circulation data from the GIN '88 cruise on board the R/V Alliance are summarised in this data report. This cruise constituted the first component of the Icelandic Current Experiment, an observational ... -

The impact of covariance localization on the performance of an ocean EnKF system assimilating glider data in the Ligurian Sea
(CMRE, 2019/05)Data assimilation through an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is not exempt from deficiencies, including the generation of long-range unphysical correlations that degrade its performance. The covariance localization technique ... -
Intermediate water downstream of the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)In July 1970 the ATLANTIS II sailed through the western Mediterranean providing an opportunity to make a quasi-synoptic observation of the Levantine Intermediate Water between the Strait of Gibraltar and the Strait of ... -
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 ... -
Preliminary results of current measurements in the Strait of Sicily in May 1970
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)During May 1970, series of oceanographic observations were made in the Strait of Sicily in support of MILOCMED. Sections of hydrologic stations were made using temperature salinity recorder (TDS) and Nansen bottles by R/ ... -
Some statistical characteristics of ocean motions from current measurements
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)A rotary-component method for analysing vector series in two dimensions was developed for the study of the coupling between wind-stress and surface current [Gonella, 1972J. This method provides a good tool for instrumental ... -
The effect of thermohaline variability on the exchange through Mediterranean straits
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1989/05)exchanges through straits. The primary assumption is that the exchange is determined by tlle pressure force created by the differing weights of tlle water columns on either side of the sill and by the continuity of mass ... -
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 ... -
