Implementation of the Optical Flow to Estimate the Propagation of Eddies in the South Atlantic Ocean ...
The ocean is filled with mesoscale eddies that account for most of the oceanic kinetic energy. The importance of eddies in transporting properties and energy across the ocean basins has led to numerous efforts to track their motion. Here, we implement a computer vision technique—the optical flow—to...

The ocean is filled with mesoscale eddies that account for most of the oceanic kinetic energy.
