15: Integrating Observations of the Boundary Current Flow around Sri Lanka
نویسندگان
چکیده
In-situ continuous observations of the boundary current flow around Sri Lanka will be collected over a period of several years. In order to assess potential bifurcations or merging of current branches coming from the north and from the east, two sections will be occupied – one on the east side of Sri Lanka, and one south of Sri Lanka. These will complement satellite altimetry information, as well as sporadic glider and drifter observations in the boundary current.
