Wind and current autumnal data series analysis on the Ligurian continental shelf

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento C

Summary

An analysis of wind and current data collected in the Ligurian Sea (North Tyrrhenian Sea) during Autumn 1978 is made. It results that the dominant low-frequency fluctuations in current are not strongly correlated to wind fluctuations. Conclusions about the motion dynamics are reached by means of empirical orthogonal functions and other indicators.

Riassunto

L'analisi dei dati di vento e correnti ottenuti nel Mar Ligure durante l'autunno 1978 permette di affermare che le fluttuazioni a basse frequenze delle correnti sono poco significativamente correlate alle fluttuazioni del vento. La dinamica del moto è studiata per mezzo delle funzioni ortogonali empiriche e calcolando i singoli termini dell'equazione «along shore» del moto.

Резюме

Проводится анализ данных для ветра и потоков, собранных в течение осени 1978 на Лигурийском море (северная часть Тиренского моря). Обнаружено, что доминирующие низкочастотные Флуктуации потоков не проявляют сильной корреляции с флуатуацииями ветра. Используя змпические ортогональные функции и другие индикаторы, делаются выводы относительно динамики движения.
