  • Despite the still insufficient spatial and temporal sampling provided by present scatterometers in the Mediterranean Sea (preventing their use in following any meteorological evolution), scatterometer wind fields are of paramount importance to characterize, on annual and seasonal time scales, the basic features of the sea surface wind on local (about from 25 km to 200 km) and meso scales (about from 200 to 600 km). This contribution will be devoted to illustrate the strongest and most persisting local-scale wind circulations mainly produced by the interaction between the wind flow and the orography, through the analysis of the wind stress and vorticity fields over a ten years period. These fields show higher values with respect to those reported in literature, and more details indeed. The vorticity strength associated to those circulations has been found comparable to that of regional-scale cyclones. (literal)
