Researchers investigate meridional deflection of global eddy propagation derived from tandem altimetry
Since the finding of their ubiquitous presence in the ocean decades ago, mesoscale eddies have been recognized as key contributors in transporting heat and substances. A common view on the meridional deflection of eddy propagation is poleward for cyclones and equatorward for anticyclones.
