Figure 5. (a) AVHRR image of 27 April 1993 showing the ‘pinching off’ of three cold core (cyclonic) eddies from the cold (MC) part of the BMC. (b) AVHRR image of 27 January 1994 indicaing a warm core (anticyclonic) eddy originated from the warm (BC) part of the BMC. The trajectory of a drifter is also seen, where the circle indicates its position 20 days before the image’s acquisition time and the triangle indicates its position within +/- 12 from the image’s acquisition time. The eddies are indicated by the arrows. The bars in both figures indicate temperature in degrees centigrades.
