The Bransfield Strait is one the best-known\udareas of Antarctica's oceanic surroundings. In spite of this, the study of the\udmesoscale variability of its local circulation has been addressed only recently.\ud
This paper focuses on the mesoscale structure of local\udphysical oceanographic conditions in the Bransfield Strait during the Austral\udsummer as derived from the BIOANTAR 93 cruise and auxiliary remote sensing data.\udMoreover, data recovered from moored current meters allow identification of\udtransient mesoscale phenomena
