Geostrophic currents and kinetic energies in the Black Sea estimated from merged drifter and satellite altimetry data

Drifter measurements and satellite altimetry data are merged to reconstruct the surface geostrophic circulation of the Black Sea in the period 1999–2009. This combined data set is used to estimate pseudo-Eulerian velocity statistics for different time periods. Seasonal and interannual variability of...
