Indian Ocean - Opis:
- We identify loops and eddies from the trajectories of the drifters in the North Indian Ocean (NIO) from October 1985 to March 2019. We use the geometric identification method to identify loops and eddies and compare them with the loops identified from loopers provided by Lumpkin (2016). In NIO, the number of loops estimated from loopers is less than the number of loops and eddies identified by the geometric identification method. A total of 761 loops are identified, of which 346 are eddies, whereas the loops identified from loopers are only 149. Larger radii loops and eddies are observed in the western and central Bay of Bengal (BoB) and the southwestern part of the Arabian Sea (AS). Temporal variation of loops and eddies shows a peak during April—May in the AS and September—October in the BoB. In the BoB, the temporal variation of cyclonic eddies matches with the variation in chlorophyll
