Description 15-26
A
method accounting for the directional characteristics of in-situ wind and
current measurements is proposed and applied in two characteristic locations of
the Aegean Sea. With the combined use of directional statistics, satellite
derived SST maps and in-situ measurements, an efficient quantitative
description of the directional current behavior and its relation with the
corresponding wind fields, thermohaline trends, seasonality and sources of the
main meso- and large-scaled surface currents of the Aegean Sea, is elaborated.
The evolution, persistence, duration and signal of the surface circulation
patterns has been appeared to be quite different during each season or calendar
year, shaping in this way a completely different layout of the overall sea
surface circulation. This is a novel approach interrelating directional
statistics with in-situ measurements and SST maps, for the Aegean Sea.
