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 ... -
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 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

The Strait of Sicily in relation to the general circulation of the Mediterranean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)
