spelling Underwater glider observations and modeling of an abrupt mixing event in the upper oceanRuiz, SimónRenault, LionelGarau, BartoloméTintoré, Joaquín7 páginas, 4 figuras.An abrupt mixing event in the upper ocean is investigated in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea using gliders, a new ocean monitoring technology, combined with regional atmospheric model outputs and mooring data. Intense winds (up to 20 m s−1) and buoyancy forcing during December 2009 induced strong vertical mixing of the upper ocean layer in the Balearic Sea. High-resolution data from a coastal glider reveal a surface cooling of near 2 °C and the deepening of the Mixed Layer Depth (MLD) by more than 40 meters in the center of the basin. Comparisons between glider and ship-emulated sections of hydrographic profiles show that the glider data make visible the small-scale spatial variability of the MLD. The heat content released to the atmosphere by the upper ocean during this mixing event exceeds 1000 W m−2. A simulation from the Weather Research and Forecasting model reports values consistent with these observations. Additionally the atmospheric numerical simulation shows the development and evolution of a cyclone located south of the Balearic Islands. This cyclone is likely to be responsible for the wind intensification and the consequent air-sea energy exchanges that occurred in the study area during this period.Este trabajo ha sido realizado gracias a una parte de la financiación de los proyectos Gliderbal y MyOcean, subvencionados por el Gobierno de las Islas Baleares (AAEE0051/08) y por la Comisión Europea respectivamente.Peer reviewedAmerican Geophysical Union201220122012info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://hdl.handle.net/10261/49433reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
