A statistical analysis of drifter observations in 15 and 50m depth in front of Port Said and Rosetta is used to estimate the track of circulation pattern and the latitudinal and longitudinal velocity. A cyclonic motion covered the area from near surface to 50m depth. The relative dispersion value was in the order of 10 cm/sec. The horizontal divergence is oscillating between conversion and diversion. Also the effect of turbulence is relatively small.
