Abstract:
Abstract. Monitoring the surface circulation of the ice-covered Arctic Ocean is generally limited in space, time or both. We present a new 12-year record of geostrophic currents at monthly resolution in the ice-covered and ice-free Arctic Ocean derived from satellite radar altimetry and characterise their seasonal to decadal variability from 2003 to 2014, a period of rapid environmental change in the Arctic. Geostrophic currents around the Arctic basin increased in the late 2000s, with the largest increases observed in summer. Currents in the southeastern Beaufort Gyre accelerated in late 2007

Abstract:
AbstractAccurate knowledge of ocean surface currents at high spatial and temporal resolutions is crucial for a gamut of applications. The altimeter observing system, by providing repeated global measurements of the sea surface height, has been by far the most exploited system to estimate ocean surface currents over the past 20 years. However, it neither permits the observation of currents moving away from the geostrophic balance nor is it capable of resolving the shortest spatial and temporal scales of the currents. Therefore, to overcome these limitations, in this study the ways in which the

Abstract. The variability and evolution of the Northern Current (NC) in the area off Toulon is studied for 2 weeks in December 2011 using data from a glider, a high-frequency (HF) radar network, vessel surveys, a weather station, and an atmospheric model. The NC variability is dominated by a synoptic response to wind events, even though the dataset also evidences early stages of transition from late summer to fall–winter conditions. With weak winds, the current is mostly zonal and in geostrophic balance even at the surface, with a zonal transport associated with the NC of ≈1 Sv. Strong westerl

Abstract Surface Velocity Program (SVP) drifter data from 1987 through 2005; Archiving, Validation, and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic data (AVISO) sea level anomalies; and NCEP reanalysis winds are used to assemble a time-averaged map of the 15-m-deep geostrophic velocity field in the California Current System seaward of about 50 km from the coast. The wind data are used to compute the Ekman currents, which are then subtracted from the drifter velocity measurements. The resulting proxy for geostrophic velocity anomalies computed from drifters and from satellite sea level measuremen

Abstract:
The present study explores the possibility of deriving the across track currents along the Indian coastal region from SARAL/AltiKa mission. The across track surface geostrophic currents obtained from along track SARAL altimeter data are directly compared (qualitatively) with high frequency (HF) radar observations of surface currents in the Bay of Bengal. The velocity component from HF radar which is perpendicular to the altimeter tracks is considered. Since the ageostrophic velocity contribution is ignored for the moment, the surface geostrophic currents SARAL compare well only under low wind

Abstract The mean ocean circulation near 1000-m depth is estimated with 100-km resolution from the Argo float displacements collected before 1 January 2010. After a thorough validation, the 400 000 or so displacements found in the 950–1150 dbar layer and with parking times between 4 and 17 days allow the currents to be mapped at intermediate depths with unprecedented details. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is the most prominent feature, but western boundary currents (and their recirculations) and alternating zonal jets in the tropical Atlantic and Pacific are also well defined.

Abstract Drifter observations and satellite-derived sea surface height data are used to quantitatively study the surface geostrophic circulation of the entire Mediterranean Sea for the period spanning 1992–2010. After removal of the wind-driven components from the drifter velocities and low-pass filtering in bins of 1° × 1° × 1 week, maps of surface geostrophic circulation (mean flow and kinetic energy levels) are produced using the drifter and/or satellite data. The mean currents and kinetic energy levels derived from the drifter data appear stronger/higher with respect to those obtained from

Their variations are also highly connected to potential natural hazards; therefore, continuous monitoring of ocean circulations has been a highly respected issue over the past centuries. The research uses multiple satellite altimetry data, satellite-only geoid model (GOCE or GRACE), in-situ hydrographical data to determine mesoscale geostrophic current velocities globally.

Abstract The unique circulation characteristics of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) pose a significant threat to the safety of offshore oil and gas operations pertaining to installation of new production systems, drilling, and maintenance of existing offshore infrastructure. Operators in the area rely on realistic estimates of the location of the sharp fronts (regions of high horizontal shear) characteristic of the warm-core Loop Current (LC) and Loop Current Eddies (LCEs) and smaller cold core cyclonic eddies (CEs) to estimate working windows. However, locating these features is not a trivial underta
