| Lagrangian instruments and altimetry data are used to investigate the upper ( 0 to similar to 500 m) mean and mesoscale circulations in a region of the midlatitude northeast Atlantic (36 degrees - 47 degrees N, 13 degrees - 23 degrees W), a formation and subduction area of Subpolar Mode Water. Lagrangian data were collected between September 2000 and September 2001 with isobaric subsurface floats, totaling 34.0 float years, and surface drifting buoys, totaling 27.9 buoy years. The near-surface ( 0 - 100 m) mean circulation is dominated by two weak ( similar to 5 cm/s) eastward currents which veer southward in the domain. In the 100- to 500-m-deep layer, these eastward mean currents retroflect westward and form two anticyclonic circulation cells, opened to... |

| The Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) of Fisheries and Oceans Canada was accredited as the RNODC for drifting buoys by the IODE in January 1986. As such, MEDS archives all drifting buoy data distributed on the GTS and makes the data available to anyone who requests it. This report summarizes MEDS’ activities as the RNODC for drifting buoys during the last intersessional period. |
