SSH evolution
Discussion
Eddy Generation

• The result of the numerical tests is illustrated with naratives using the SSH evolution. (Overview)
• Discussions on the following specific issues are presented:
  • Flow separation at the Kyushu coast and the Kii-Peninsula; cylonic eddy formation
  • Detachement of the anticyclonic eddy from the Kuroshio

• An example of anticyclonic eddy generation in the Kuroshio Extension region is shown.
