Radiactividad y ciencias del mar. Una asignatura pendiente

[ES] Distintos procesos del medioambiente marino pueden estudiarse utilizando núcleos radiactivos naturales y artificiales como trazadores o indicadores de los procesos. En esta charla abordaremos en clave de divulgación científica aspectos como: la Radiactividad (en qué consiste, cómo se cuantifica, su interacción con nosotros, su origen natural o antropogénico), la Radiactividad en el medio ambiente, la Radiactividad ambiental en Canarias, la importancia de la Radiactividad en las Ciencias del Mar y, por último, la investigación en Radiactividad ambiental que se desarrolla en la ULPGC.

In situ and remote sensing signature of meddies east of the mid-Atlantic ridge

[EN] Mediterranean Water eddies (meddies) are thought to play an important climatic role. Nevertheless, their dynamics are not sufficiently known because of difficulties encountered in their observation. Though propagating below the main thermocline, a number of pieces of evidence of sea surface manifestation of meddies are collected. The present work is based on joint in situ and altimetry data analyses to prove that the meddies can be followed with remote sensing data for long periods of time. The in situ observations are based on data from an oceanographic cruise, which crossed three meddies, and reanalysis of historical data sets, including RAFOS floats paths. Suggested methodology permitted us to obtain uninterrupted tracks for several meddies for a period from several months to more than 2 years. It was found that the dynamically calm region to the north of the Azores current presents favorable conditions for meddy tracking. The meddy surface signal may become shattered and difficult to follow during interaction with a strong dynamic structures (the Azores current/surface vortexes) or peaking topography. Theoretical considerations support the observations and lead to the conclusion that the dynamic signature of meddies at the sea surface is an intrinsic property of meddy dynamics

Effect of the Canary Islands in the blockage and mixing of the North Atlantic eastern water masses

[EN] We apply an inverse model to a hydrographic cruise that completely closes the Canary Islands to investigate their effect on the water masses transports. Most central waters are transported south between the eastern islands and the African coast, with 2.5 Sv out of a total of 3.5 Sv. Intermediate waters are effectively blocked by the islands passages, with Mediterranean/Antarctic waters predominantly found north/south of the islands, and most deep waters loop around the archipelago plateau. A process model upholds the existence of intense two-way exchange between central and intermediate waters along the eastern passage, with vertical velocities of order 10 m s.
