| contents | Upper-Ocean circulation patterns in the northern Gulf of California, expressed in ers-2 synthetic aperture radar imagery Asdrúbal Martínez Díaz de León Ciencias de la Tierra ocean circulation Synthetic Aperture Radar northern Gulf of California ERS-2 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) frames were collected over the northern Gulf of Californiaduring winter 1999. The frames, presented here as a single composite image (100 ´ 300 km), express amesoscale meander or eddy-like feature, approximately 80 km wide, located close to the peninsula ofBaja California. The eddy is expressed as bright, concentric bands that curve in an anticyclonic direction.The location and dimensions of the eddy are in very good agreement with the winter circulation of thenorthern Gulf of California described by Lavín et al. (1997), from the analysis of direct observationsusing satellite-tracked drifters and hydrographic surveys. The SAR image also depicts other smaller,cyclonic eddy-like features, located close to the mainland, which may be associated with the generalcirculation induced by the anticyclonic eddy. SAR images, together with the reduced number of in situobservations, can provide new and valuable information about the mesoscale circulation of the upperocean in the Gulf of California, even when cloud cover prevents the use of other remote sensors, such asinfrared radiometers and visible imaging systems. 2001 artículo científico 0185-3880 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=48027203 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=480 Ciencias Marinas application/pdf Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Ciencias Marinas (México) Num.2 Vol.27 |
