Mediterranean Surface Currents Measured with Drifters: From Basin to Subinertial Scales

Mediterranean Surface Currents Measured with Drifters: From Basin to Subinertial Scales

Drifter observations in the Mediterranean Sea between 1986 and 2012 have allowed study of important aspects of the surface dynamics in most areas of this marginal sea, including: interannual and seasonal variabilities; basin, subbasin, and mesoscale circulation features; inertial and tidal currents;...
