The new wave of oceanographers: Bàrbara Barceló-Lllull

Postdoctoral researcher focusing on in situ and satellite ocean observations to understand mesoscale and submesoscale dynamics as well as the inference of vertical motions and their impact on marine ecosystems.

FaSt-SWOT blog: New Jupyther Notebook to design Sampling strategy using a Moving Vessel Profiler (MVP)

A new Jupyter Notebook to design sampling strategy using a towed vehicle such as MVP, uCTD and Seasoar has been released by Bàrbara Barceló-Llull (IMEDEA, Spain) and Elisabet Verger-Miralles (UIB-IMEDEA, Spain).

Recommendations for the design of in situ sampling strategies to reconstruct fine-scale ocean currents in the context of SWOT satellite mission

How to optimize the design of in situ experiments aimed at reconstructing fine-scale ocean currents? Bàrbara Barceló-Llull and Ananda Pascual developed a set of simulations to evaluate different sampling strategies and their impact on the reconstruction of fine-scale sea level and surface ocean velocities.
