Current observations near the continental slope off Portugal
Listed in PANGAEA and DataCite — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.1594/pangaea.604011
Some current meter data obtained from a mooring at 2450 m water depth near the continental slope off Portugal are presented.
Description
The mean currents at five levels with observations are northward. Mean speeds in the core of the Mediterranean Water exceed speeds at shallower levels by 2 to 3 cm/sec, indicating advection connected to this specific water mass.
The current variability is dominated by semi-diurnal tidal components. Normal mode analysis reveals a predominant mode of order 2, representing 48% of the total kinetic tidal energy. Results for the barotropic tidal component are in good agreement with earlier predictions for this area.

The motion at higher frequencies w in the internal gravity wave band can be well described by a w**-2 power law for the energy density spectrum. This result is consistent with earlier observations in other parts of the ocean.
