Multicore structures and the splitting and merging of eddies in global oceans from satellite altimeter data
<p>This study investigated the statistics of eddy splitting and merging in the global oceans based on 23 years of altimetry data. Multicore structures were identified using an improved geometric closed-contour algorithm of sea surface height. Splitting and merging events were discerned from co...
