Sea level variability and surface eddy statistics in the Mediterranean Sea from TOPEXPOSEIDON data
Two years of TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter data have successfully been used to study the mesoscale field in the Mediterranean and to investigate the seasonal and year-toyear variability of the sea level and eddy statistics in this basin. The mesoscale field described by TOPEX/POSEIDON revealed a strong, but subbasin dependent, seasonal signal. Year-toyear variations are also evident in terms of both...
متن کاملEddy kinetic energy and small-scale sea level height variability
A mathematical connection is established between the ocean near-surface geostrophic kinetic energy and the small-scale variance of its surface height. The latter is defined as the spatial variance of sea surface height inside a given grid box and represents a basic statistical characteristic of the field, necessary for estimating its vulnerability to sampling error. The former is also computed ...
متن کاملCoastal sea surface temperature variability from Landsat infrared data
A time series of 23 Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) band 6 thermal infrared images over the period 1986–1996 is used to quantify variability of sea surface temperature (SST) along the central coast of Maine, a morphologically complex region of bays, estuaries, and islands. An iterative regression scheme using coregistered, temporally coincident, daily composites of Advanced Very High Resolution Ra...
متن کاملSea Surface Currents Estimated from Spaceborne Infrared Images Validated against Reanalysis Data and Drifters in the Mediterranean Sea
Near-real time sea surface current information is needed for ocean operations. On a global scale, only satellites can provide such measurements. This can be done with data from infrared radiometers, available on several satellites, thus giving several images a day. This work analyses the accuracy of such an estimation of surface current fields retrieved with the maximum cross correlation (MCC) ...
