摘要: [1] Sea surface topography from TOPEX/Poseidon and ERS satellites, SST images derived advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) sensors, conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) data collected during an oceanographic survey are examined to investigate intense mesoscale anticyclonic eddy observed at the northern boundary of Balearic Sea (western Mediterranean). This eddy, which constitutes strongest signal detected in basin since altimetric available, appeared September 1998 northwest Menorca Island remained almost same location until its disappearance March 1999. The paper focuses mainly on identifying conditions that led formation description evolution sudden disappearance. Derived variables such as geostrophic velocity or vorticity computed complement hydrographic dynamical information provided by variables. Also, meteorological related main hypothesis made for origin eddy.
