Fig. 3: Comparison between hurricane intensity and the response of the eddy field within 15 days after hurricanes’ passage.
From: Hurricane influence on the oceanic eddies in the Gulf Stream region
a Mean energy changing rate difference between cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies (106 W, orange) within 15 days after hurricanes’ passage in the Gulf Stream region (GSR), and power dissipation index (PDI) of hurricane in the GSR (1010 m3 s−2, blue) from 1993 to 2021. b Same as a but for the mean energy difference (1012 J, orange) between cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies. A 3-year running mean smoothing was applied to all the time series. The correlation coefficients R (lower-left corner) are shown in each panel. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
