A method for determining absolute velocities from hydrographic data
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1987/07)This study describes a procedure for deriving the characteristics of large-scale climatic currents from -
Atlantic inflow experiment GIN Sea Cruise'87: Data report Part II: Circulation (Faeroe Channel)
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1991/12)This data report summarizes results of the Atlantic Inflow Experiment, -
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 ... -
Development of barotropic models for the GIN Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1991/03)Barotropic ocean models are developed for deep oceans, with arbitrary topography and basin geometry, on a sphere. A special adaptation is made for the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian (GIN) Seas with closed lateral boundaries. ... -
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 ... -

Interpretation and representation of the synoptic features in the Iceland-Faeroe-Shetland region
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/07)The kinematic structure of the sub-inertial fluctuations of measured current and temperature fields from 6 moorings deployed during the June -
Model statistics of inertial shear from multi- year simulations at weathership 'Mike': currents, atmospheric forcing, internal waves, mixed layer, Norwegian Sea)
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1990/12)In this memorandum we focus on one of the most important environmental -
Observations of Mediterranean flow into the Black Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997/10)Mediterranean Sea water inflow into the Black Sea is investigated using acoustic and oceanographic data obtained in the Black Sea exit region. The path of Mediterranean water and the resulting spreading on the continental ... -
Ocean currents in the Iceland-Faeroe area, measured by a bottom-mounted ADCP
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/12)Horizontal currents as a function of depth, measured by a bottommounted -
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 ... -
Oceanographic measurements of the West Black Sea: November 26 to December 14, 1995
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/06)Mediterranean water inflow into the Black Sea is investigated using acoustic and oceanographic data obtained in the Black Sea exit region. Temporal and spatial variability in the flow and their relation to atmospheric and ... -
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 acoustic effects of internal macrostructure
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)Some recent experimental developments relating to internal oceanographic- acoustic interactions are reviewed. Besides amplitude and phase fluctuations, a major concern is scattering into shadow regions. Associated oceanographic ... -
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 ... -
Surface measurements made during the Icelandic Current Experiment (ICE 89) from the R/V Alliance
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1991/10)Measurements of surface meteorology and sea temperature taken during the GIN '89A cruise of the research vessel Alliance are presented in the form of time-series plots. The cruise was in the southern Icelandic and Norwegian ... -
