Coastal Ocean Circulation Experiment Off Senegal (COCES - II)
The long-term goals are to investigate the dynamics of coastal areas dominated by buoyancy input and wind forcing, influenced by complex topography and interacting with the deep ocean and to improve the understanding of coastal marine environmental evolution, with particular emphasis on eddy dynamic...
