Eddy trajectories and statistics in the MeRMEED study region. (a) Trajectories of anticyclonic (red) and cyclonic (blue) eddies that enter the MeRMEED study region marked by the black box during their lifespan between 1993 and 2018. (b) The number of anticyclonic (left) and cyclonic (right) eddies that dissipate within the MeRMEED study region (red bar), and that transit through the MeRMEED study region (blue bar). (c) The average number of days spent in the MeRMEED study region for those anticyclonic (left) and cyclonic (right) eddies that either dissipate in the MeRMEED study (red bar) region or transit through the MeRMEED study region (blue bar). The vertical black lines represent the one standard deviation about the mean. The map in panel (a) was created using the Python packages cartopy v0.18 and matplotlib v3.3.4, and ETOPO1 bathymetry.
