Investigation of Eddy Population and Motion in the Southern International Ice Patrol Operations Area (40°-47°N by 40°-55°W) ...
A study of the eddy population in the Newfoundland Basin region over the period from November 1981 to December 1984 was conducted. The study was undertaken to demonstrate the importance and basic character of eddy motion in the area patrolled by the International Ice Patrol. This is a descriptive st...
