Trajectories of autonomous underwater gliders. (a) Absolute trajectories of the gliders. (b) Trajectories adjusted relative to the eddy center. The dots mark the positions where the gliders surfaced. Background shading indicates the time-mean sea level anomaly (SLA) derived from the Data Unification and Altimeter Combination System (DUACS) near-real-time products during September 13–21. The back solid line delineates the eddy edge computed by fitting an ellipse to the zero contour of SLA.
