The location of the Fourchon Eddy is visualised as thick lines, the location and 1-week movement of buoys is visualised as thin lines. The right side of this figure shows the Doppler derived current velocities. The location of the Fourchon Eddy and associated velocity patterns can be detected and measured from the Doppler-derived velocity imagery. The data was collected on March 14, 1998. An overlay of the Eddy Watch report is shown as visual reference.
Thin lines correspond to the movement of buoys.
The data was collected on May 13, 1998. An overlay of the Eddy Watch report is shown as visual reference. Thin lines correspond to the movement of buoys. Figure 7 shows a subsection of Doppler velocity image of figure 6. The vectors derived from buoy data are shown as reference.
