Analysis of space-time variability of small (submesoscale) eddies identified in satellite radar images during the warm season in the White (2009 – 2012), Barents and Kara (2007) Seas is presented. Determination of eddy locations, their diameters and vorticity type enabled to reveal the regions of re...
