Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
In the present work, we assess the performance of generic products of sea level anomaly (SLA) in manifesting mesoscale eddies of the Western Mediterranean. As 'ground truth' in this study we use eddy manifestations found in sea surface temperature (SST) fields of the region of interest. Co-location of eddies found in thermal imagery with closed contours of the fields of SLA showed that only anticyclonic eddies exceeding approx. 70 km in diameter can be more or less sustainably manifested in the fields of SLA and its derivatives. Detection of cyclonic eddies, presumably due to their small spatial and temporal scales and non-geostrophic nature, is problematic. A preliminary analysis of the along-track SLA data seemed to support the conclusions made for the gridded SLA products. |
