Untangling the mistral and seasonal atmospheric forcing driving deep convection in the Gulf of Lion: 2012–2013

<p>Deep convection in the Gulf of Lion is believed to be primarily driven by the mistral winds. However, our findings show that the seasonal atmospheric change provides roughly two-thirds of the buoyancy loss required for deep convection to occur for the year 2012 to 2013, with the mistral sup...
