The\r\naims of the work have been to: 1. determine and describe the underlying dynamics of the region; and, 2. rapidly assess\r\nsynoptic oceanographic conditions through measurements and modeling. Based on the 1994-1996 surveys, a picture of some\r\nsemi-permanent features which occur in the Strait of Sicily is beginning to emerge. Dynamical circulation studies, with\r\nassimilated data from the surveys, indicate the presence of an Adventure Bank Vortex &#8211; ABV., Maltese Channel Crest &#8211; MCC., and Ionian Shelf Break Vortex &#8211; IBV. A schematic water mass model has been developed for the region. Results\r\nfrom the Rapid Response 96 real-time numerical modeling experiments are presented and evaluated. A newly developed data\r\nassimilation methodology, Error Subspace Statistical Estimation &#8211; ESSE. is introduced. The ideal Error Subspace spans and\r\ntracks the scales and processes where the dominant, most energetic, errors occur, making this methodology especially useful\r\nin real-time adaptive sampling. q1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
