  2. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY • To verify the possibility of integrating Eulerian (current meter mooring) and Lagrangian (drifter) data for SW South Atlantic • MOTIVATION • To test the coherency between these data sets

  3. AREA OF STUDY

  4. METHODS • Progressive vector diagrams (for mooring data) • Maximum Entropy Spectrum • Assimetric Fragmentation (FA) operator

  5. METHODS • Progressive vector diagrams (for mooring data)

  6. METHODS • Assimetric Fragmentation Operator (FA) FA = (I-L) / L I = n. lines of Delaunay triangulation L = n. of assimetric vectors FA = 1.222 in the example
