Analysis of the circulation and shelf-slope exchanges in the continental margin of the northwestern Mediterranean

In this paper, we present the results from a high horizontal resolution numerical simulation of the northwestern Mediterranean using a z-level, non-hydrostatic, primitive equation ocean model (DieCAST). The high resolution allows an accurate representation of the submarine canyons that presides in t...
