In order to be able forecast the weather and estimate future climate changes in ocean, it is crucial understand past mechanisms responsible for ocean variability. This particularly true a complex area such as Mediterranean Sea with diverse dynamics like deep convection overturning circulation. To this end, effective tools are reanalyses or reconstructions of state. Here we present new physical reanalysis at high resolution, developed Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS)...
Abstract New monitoring technologies are being progressively implemented in open-ocean and coastal observatories. The Mediterranean Sea is a well-known, reduced-scale ocean, an ideal natural laboratory to study global ocean processes, particular those associated with meso- submesoscale variability, interactions mean flows ecosystem response. SOCIB, the Balearic Islands Coastal Ocean Observing Forecasting System, one of such observatories, multiplatform distributed integrated system, facility...
Abstract Three different eddy detection and tracking methods are applied to the outputs of a high‐resolution simulation in Western Mediterranean Sea order extract mesoscale characteristics. The results compared with same statistics derived from satellite altimetry maps over period. Eddy radii around 30 km whereas, model, they 20 km. This is probably due inability resolve smaller region. About eddies detected per day basin very heterogeneous spatial distribution relatively short lifespans...
This paper describes the high-resolution Western Mediterranean Sea Operational Forecasting System (WMOP) developed at Balearic Islands Coastal Observing and (SOCIB). The system runs on a daily basis driven by atmospheric forcing, providing 3-day forecasts of physical oceanic variables with 2 km horizontal resolution, thus representing ocean variability from mesoscale to basin scale Gibraltar Strait Sardinia Channel. A systematic regional monitoring validation has been using multi-platform...
Abstract We present an innovative approach to the generation of remotely sensed high‐resolution sea surface topography that improves coastal and mesoscale dynamic characterization. This new method is applied for period 2002–2010 in northwestern Mediterranean Sea, area marked by a small Rossby radius. The spectral content mapped data closer along‐track signal displays higher levels energy bandwidth with probability distribution velocity fields 30% drifter estimations. yield eddy kinetic 25%...

Abstract Algerian eddies are the strongest and largest propagating mesoscale structures in Western Mediterranean Sea. They have a large influence on mean circulation, water masses biological processes. Over 20 years of satellite altimeter data been analyzed to characterize propagation these using automatic detection methods cross‐correlation analysis. We found that, average, eddy trajectories form two subbasin scale anticlockwise gyres that coincide with which were described literature as...

Satellite altimetry is a key component of the global observing system and plays major role in study mesoscale processes that drive most ocean circulation variability at middle high latitudes. However, satellite alone provides only surface information limited spatio-temporal resolution. To address these limitations to better describe three-dimensional variability, it necessary complement data with additional remote situ measurements. This an update recent advances using combination other...
Hydrographic changes in the western Mediterranean Sea (WMED), which is connected to North Atlantic through Strait of Gibraltar, may affect global ocean thermohaline circulation. The Western Intermediate Water (WIW) a regional water mass formed winter convection processes north WMED. variations WIW characteristics are hardly detectable by conventional criterion as defined literature and have been poorly addressed. This study introduces an innovative geometry-based method properly detect WIW....
