Abstract
⺠We study an observed eddy structure in the western part of the Gulf of Lion during the Latex08 cruise. ⺠We use ADCP, XBT, SST data and Lagrangian drifters to investigate the observed eddy. ⺠This coastal mesoscale anticyclonic eddy is elliptic in shape, and baroclinic, limited vertically to the thermocline. ⺠The coastal eddy can interact with the large scale circulation. ⺠We propose some mechanisms of eddy generation.
