Figure 3. (a) AVHRR image taken on 29 April 1993. BCC is represented by the cold waters (dark) at the coast, while BC is represented by the warm waters offshore (light). The image shows the trajectory of a buoy entering BCC from BC after having been captured by a small-scale warm core eddy visible in the buoy’s track (indicated by the arrow pointing to the left). The possible equivalent of this eddy in the AVHRR image is indicated by the arrow pointing to the right. The circle indicates the buoy’s position 20 days before the images’ acquisition time, the triangle indicates the buoy position within +/- 12 h from the image’s acquisition time. (b) AVHRR image of 20 May 1994 showing a mushroom-like feature extending from the BCC towards the BC in the BC/BCC front. The feature is indicated by the arrow. The bars in both images  indicate temperature in degrees centigrades.
