TOEddies algorithm results applied to the Absolute Dynamic Topography (ADT) between 1993 and 2021 in the Levantine Basin. (a,b) Percentage of time each grid cell (1/8° × 1/8°) is within an anticyclonic (left column) or a cyclonic (right column) eddy; the time when the CE was present was splitted in the west case (c-d), when the CE center is west of the ESM) and in the east case (e–f), when the CE is east of the ESM). The percentage shown for panels (c-f) is computed over the subsampled period. The characteristics of the CE for the west case (Center, Vmax , Rmax and Roe = Vmax/ f Rmax) with the standard deviation (std) are reported in Fig. 2c. The white diamond at 32.7° E, 33.7° N indicates the ESM summit.
