Numerical analysis of a Mediterranean "hurricane" over south-eastern Italy
The presence of a subsynoptic-scale vortex over the Mediterranean Sea in southeastern Italy on 26 September 2006 has been recently documented by the authors. The transit of the...- publication PDF

The impact of fine-scale currents on biogeochemical cycles in a changing ocean
Fine-scale currents, O(1–100 km, days–months), are actively involved in the transport and transformation of biogeochemical tracers in the ocean. However, their...- publication PDF
