In this paper we present an overview of the most recent findings about the Mediterranean
Sea present-day circulation structure. Both historical observations and numerical model …

The Mediterranean Sea has been investigated intensively since the early nineties, using
modern techniques and collaborative approaches. This overview summarizes some of the …

This study focuses on the improved estimation of mesoscale surface ocean circulation
obtained by merging TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) and ERS‐1 and‐2 altimeter measurements …

During the last decade, a considerable amount of work has been made and definite results
obtained about the circulation in the Western Mediterranean Sea. The diagrams presented …

We describe a synthesis of the Mediterranean Sea circulation structure and dynamics from a
23-year-long reanalysis of the ocean circulation carried out by Adani et al.(2011). This …

A procedure is presented to detect eddy cores from sea level anomaly (SLA) maps obtained
from altimetric measurements. The method is based on finding the sign of Q, which is an …

Summaries of maritime weather reports and mean seasonal satellite‐sensed ocean colour
distributions for the Mediterranean Sea are used to identify characteristic configurations of …

The presence of coherent vortices makes observed mesoscale fields of the ocean resemble
two-dimensional turbulence. Using this analogy, a common definition of a coherent structure …

Sea-level change is one of the most concerning climate change and global warming
consequences, especially impacting coastal societies and environments. The spatial and …

Combining an intensive hydrographic data survey with a numerical primitive equation model
by data assimilation, the main features of dominant mesoscale to subbasin-scale variability …
