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 ... -
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. ...
