Objective Assessment of Mass and Heat Transport Associated with General Circulation over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Study of the Lagrangian diffusion process over a rugged underwater relief. Exploring the distribution of kinetic energy associated with long-period ocean currents. TOPOGULF 6 is the sixth cruise of the TOPOGULF project, whose objective is to gain knowledge of the general circulation and its fluctuations near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
