Submesoscale Vorticity and Divergence in the Alboran Sea: Scale and Depth Dependence

Submesoscale Vorticity and Divergence in the Alboran Sea: Scale and Depth Dependence

The statistics of submesoscale divergence and vorticity (kinematic properties, KPs) in the Alboran Sea (Mediterranean Sea) are investigated, using data from drifters released during two experiments in June 2018 and April 2019 in the framework of the Coherent Lagrangian Pathways from the Surface Ocea...
