Fig. 4: Regional eddy kinetic energy change relative to temperature rise.
From: Long-term evolution of ocean eddy activity in a warming world
Simulated area-integrated regional eddy kinetic energy anomalies normalized relative to conditions during the observational period (1993–2020) and plotted relative to simulated mean annual surface temperature anomalies from mean conditions between 1850 and 1899. Linear trends are fit to EKE anomalies after an 11-year running mean of mean annual surface temperature anomalies surpasses 1 °K. a, The Gulf Stream. b, The Kuroshio Current. c, The Agulhas Current. d, BMC. e, ACC.
