Abstract This study investigates the distribution of the sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) with the aim of quantifying the characteristics of mesoscale eddies in the Kuroshio–Oyashio extension region (KOER), where intense mesoscale eddies are commonly observed during hydrographic surveys. Dense distributions of both anticyclonic eddies (AEs) and cyclonic eddies (CEs) are detected for the first time in KOER with sufficient temporal and spatial coverage, using the Okubo–Weiss parameter without… Expand
