Abstract

The abyssal velocity of the Northern Current, in the north-western Mediterranean has been estimated using for the first time MERMAID instruments, i.e. submarine drifting instruments that record seismic waves. In this study the Northern Current shows an intense activity even in deep layers of the water column. Through pseudo-eulerian statistics different components of the observed variability are described.
