Surface expression of Mediterranean Water dipoles and their contribution to the shelf/slope – open ocean exchange
The generation of dipolar eddies within the Mediterranean Water (MW) layers, at the Portuguese continental slope, was observed using subsurface RAFOS floats. The surface expression of these mid-depth dipoles is here characterized with remote sensing data, namely with sea surface temperature, chlorop...
