... provides a series of overlapping profiles ( Fig. 3.11a) over a typical vertical range of O (20) m after the control quality ( Fig. 3.11b). The successive profiles of the backscatter index were stacked to reconstruct the profile over the entire water column from the median values of the overlapping data at each level ). The associated uncertainty corresponds to the standard deviation of the stacked values for each bin (in this study case is 1 m depth bin). A final ...

... the profile over the entire water column from the median values of the overlapping data at each level ). The associated uncertainty corresponds to the standard deviation of the stacked values for each bin (in this study case is 1 m depth bin). A final three-point centered moving-average filter was applied to eliminate the high-frequency noise ( Fig. 3.11c). ...

... Rhone's ROFI is a complex system in which the high spatial and temporal variability of the river plume can shift by several kilometers in a few hours, depending on wind and river discharge conditions. For stable conditions, or when satellite data are partial (Fig. 4.11a, c) or lacking ( Fig. 4.12a, c) due to cloud cover, glider measurement near the surface ensures some continuity between daily satellite snapshots. The complementarity of the glider as a tool resides primarily in the fact that gliders make it possible to describe the vertical extension of superficial structures in the water column, such as ...
