spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/6477 The Mozambique Channel eddies : characteristics and mechanisms of formation Halo, Issufo F M Penven, Pierrick Ansorge, Isabelle Jane Oceanography Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references. The model outputs and the satellite data have shown a number of cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies being generated within the Mozambique Channel. The eddies were identified using a newly designed eddy detection algorithm. The algorithm has shown that cyclonic eddies appeared to be more ubiquitous than the anticyclonic and had a single mode sizedistribution. On the other hand, the anticyclonic eddies seemed to have a favorite site for their formation, and have shown a bi-modal size-distribution. 2014-08-13T19:48:58Z 2014-08-13T19:48:58Z 2012 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6477 eng application/pdf Department of Oceanography Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
