Fig. 17.2 Upper panel: winter mean circulation in the Mediterranean Sea as depicted from a
model simulation that uses c1imatological atmospheric forcing. The model used is described
in section 17.5. Middle panel: winter average surface chlorophyll from the SeaWiFS sensor.
The average is made for the months of December 1999, January and February 2000 from \O
days composites of data. The completely white rectangles indicate absence of values due to
cIouds. The \O days composites were produced during the Mediterranean Forecasting
System Pilot Project by Dr. D. Antoine of LPCM, Villefranche, France. Lower panel: tenday composite chlorophyll map from SeaWiFS sensor for the period 4-14 of February 2000.
