Surface circulation in the Gulf of Naples during the GELaTo 2012 experiment

We present selected results of an experiment carried out in the Gulf of Naples (GoN) in the summer of 2012. Different aspects of the surface circulation in the Gulf, a coastal area of the South-Eastern Tyrrhenian Sea were targeted during the experiment. An assessment of the importance of the local wind forcing in the case of summer breeze regime is illustrated, as well as results regarding relative dispersion and the detection of surface transport barriers (Lagrangian Coherent Structures) developing in the area.
