Snapshots of sea level anomaly (SLA) (in m, shaded) and surface velocity (in m/s, vector) between the 1/70° high-resolution ROMS simulations (left, a1-e1) and AVISO satellite observations (right, a2-e2) during a typical KLC eddy shedding process in 2016 winter (note that the timings of comparisons are not exactly synchronized). The red curves denote the main axis of KLC and edges of the mesoscale eddy, which is defined as the SLA contour of 0.1 m.
