متن کاملA Visible Record of Eddies in the Southern Mozambique Channel
The flows around Madagascar feed into the Agulhas Current, but there have been few hydrographic studies of the flow within the Mozambique Channel. Some cruise and altimetric data point to this being a region of high mesoscale activity, with eddies migrating through the area. Here we show how ocean colour data throw light on the behaviour of eddies in the southern Mozambique Channel.

متن کاملEddies and variability in the Mozambique Channel
Between 1995 and 2000, on average 4 eddies per year are observed from satellite altimetry to propagate southward through the Mozambique Channel, into the upstream Agulhas region. Further south, these eddies have been found to control the timing and frequency of Agulhas ring shedding. Within the Mozambique Channel, anomalous SSH amplitudes rise to 30 cm; in agreement with in situ measured veloci...
