Characterizing Mesoscale Eddies of Eastern Upwelling Origins in the Atlantic Ocean and Their Role in Offshore Transport

Motivated by the recurrent formation of eddies in the eastern upwelling areas, we examine cross-basin connectivity that is promoted by coherent, long-lived and long-propagating mesoscale eddies in the Atlantic Ocean. By applying the TOEddies detection and tracking algorithm to daily satellite observ...
