Many observations indicate a higher flux in winter than in summer, while the occurrence of mesoscale events appears to be a common characteristic. The opportunity of examining several years of current meter data at a location close to the inner border of the Northern Current has definitively demonstrated the existence of a seasonality in the mesoscale variability. Although the records do not concern the core of this current, the consistency of the several characteristics we have determined with results found by other authors in the Ligurian... |
