Analysis of space-time variability of small (submesoscale) eddies identified in satellite radar images during the warm season in the White (2009)(2010)(2011)(2012), Barents and Kara (2007) Seas is presented. Determination of eddy locations, their diameters and vorticity type enabled to reveal the regions of regular eddy occurrence and assess their intraseasonal variability. In total, over 3500 eddy patterns were detected with 2970 cyclonic and 621 anticyclonic eddies. The peak of eddy activity i
