From: Global meridional eddy heat transport inferred from Argo and altimetry observations
Spatial variation of cold-core (cyclonic) eddies in the northern Pacific. (a), Cold-core eddies composited in sub-regions along a meridional band: 25°~30°N; (b), the same as (a), but along a zonal band: 180°~210°E. Boarders of each sub-region are denoted by insets. Color shading and contours denote anomalous temperature (unit: °C) and meridional geostrophic rotation velocity (unit: cm/s), respectively. Shown are along the west-east section across eddy center. Dashed magenta line connects the eddy trapping depth of each sub-region denoted by Asterisk.
