• In order to investigate the vertical structure of the upper layer currents and their variability, a mooring equipped with an ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) RD&I Sentinel 300 Khz and SBE temperature and salinity sensors was deployed in the open Ligurian Sea (43° 47.77’ N; 9°02.85 E) at 1000 m depth near the meteo-oceanographic buoy ODAS ITALIA1, from September 2003 to May 2004. The ADCP sampled the upper 50 m of water column with 8 m vertical resolution and 1h time interval, while meteorological data were collected each hour from the buoy. Although the mean current is mainly directed northwest, the data reveals an interesting mesoscale variability.The vertical structure is characterized by highly correlated currents having the same pattern, with intensity decreasing with the depth. Rotary spectral analysis evidences the inertial frequency peak, which dominates from September to December, and mesoscale components on both positive and negative spectra. The meteorological measurements from the buoy ODAS ITALIA1 allow to investigate the relationships between the wind at the surface and the variability of the currents in the upper layers. Even representing single-point eulerian measurements, such kind of observations can be also useful for a better interpretation of data from lagrangian drifters, as they provide an insight of open sea circulation short-term variability and information on the relation between currents at surface and in the layers below.
