Abstract

The Geosat radar altimeter data during the first year of its exact repeat mission are analyzed to investigate the behavior of individual anomalies of sea surface dynamic topography (SSDT) and their statistical properties in the Kuroshio Extension region. The SSDT anomalies are compared with mesoscale anomalies of sea surface temperature (SST) derived from satellite radiometer data. Remarkable baroclinic anomalies are detected in the time series of both SSDT and SST, and their westward propagation is clearly traced. -from Authors
