The Predictability Limit of Ocean Mesoscale Eddy Tracks in the Kuroshio Extension Region

In this study, the nonlinear local Lyapunov exponent and nonlinear error growth dynamics are employed to estimate the predictability limit of oceanic mesoscale eddy (OME) tracks quantitatively using three datasets. The results show that the mean predictability limit of OME tracks is about 53 days fo...
