An Index for Depicting the Long-Term Variability of Mesoscale Eddy Activity over the Kuroshio Extension Region

An Index for Depicting the Long-Term Variability of Mesoscale Eddy Activity over the Kuroshio Extension Region

Using high-resolution satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST) data from September 1981 to December 2015, the present study develops a new index to detect the long-term variation in mesoscale eddy activity over the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region. This eddy activity index (EAI) highlights the...
