Abstract:The propagation pathways of mesoscale eddies have an essential impact on the meridional transport of freshwater, carbon, nutrients, and other tracers. However, existing methods have limitations in exactly expressing their major propagation pathways. To tackle this problem, a direction‐based spatial clustering algorithm for the trajectory is proposed according to the partition‐and‐group framework. The idea is to extract the major eddy channels quantitatively, thus effectively representing the eddy trajectories … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
