Description
- Summary
- Mediterranean Military Oceanography (MEDMILOC) - The direct calculation of fluxes was compared with previous ones obtained with different methods. Short period STD time series and a longer (9 days) thermistor array record in the Strait of Sicily revealed small fluctuations with a semi-diurnal period.
