Cyclonic eddy in the center of Sound as seen by ROMS



As you can see from these images (color represents speed, arrow represents direction, and length of arrow is proportional to the speed) of current at surface (0-meter), 10-meter, and 20-meter, ROMS clearly shows a closed cyclonic eddy in the center of the sound at 20-meter depth. It is less evident in the surface and 10-meter current. With more cross-sections data being collected and assimilated, the surface circulation may improve in the coming days.
