A method for determining absolute velocities from hydrographic data: the numerical code
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/02)The numerical procedure associated with the inverse method of Peggion (1987) is described. The model equations are formulated on a spherical-shell coordinate system. The method is applied to a limited area of the basin of ... -
Analysis systems for the mesoscale thermal variability in the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/07)Mesoscale thermal structure and its spatial variability are very significant for acoustic propagation in the ocean. Therefore ocean thermal analysis procedures are important for the initialisation andverification of ... -
Atlantic inflow experiment, GIN Sea cruise'86: Data report: Part I: Hydrography + (Appendixes B and C)
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/06)An investigation of the inflow of North Atlantic surface water into the Greenland-Norwegian-Iceland -
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 ... -
Hydrographic measurements in the southern Iceland and Norwegian Seas during June and August, 1989
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/12)This memorandum documents an extensive collection of CTD data made during two cruises in the region between Greenland and Norway -
Mixed layer deepening and variability in the upperlayers if the central western Mediterranean, MILEX-82: final report
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/10)The 1982 Mixed-Layer Experiment (MILEX-82) is described in detail and the data are presented in ways designed to illustrate the spatial and temporal variability of the surface and deeper layers of the central western ... -
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) -
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 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 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 ...
