Fig. 7: Eddy characteristics south of 60 °S across depth and season.
From: High-latitude Southern Ocean eddy activity projected to evolve with anthropogenic climate change
a Monthly mean area of cyclonic eddies. b Monthly mean area of anticyclonic eddies. c Monthly mean vorticity amplitude of cyclonic eddies. d Monthly mean vorticity amplitude of anticyclonic eddies. Left column figures are of the 1951–1956 period, middle column figures are of the 2091–2096 period, right column figures are the differences between the periods. Average vorticity amplitude and area over each eddy’s lifespan are calculated and grouped into months based on the middle date of the lifespan. Insignificance differences of means at 95% confidence are hatched.
