Loop Current Frontal Eddies Based on Satellite Remote-Sensing and Drifter Data
Overview
The over-arching goal of this project was to develop and apply new remote sensing methodologies to improve upon the surveillance of ocean features and the understanding of near surface circulation processes in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). The Loop Current (LC) and its associated eddies are the most energetic ocean circulation features in the GoM, exhibiting surface current velocities of 1-2 m/s. As oil and gas exploration and drilling moves into deeper water, a better understanding of circulation processes and energetic current events associated with the LC will increase in importance for the effective management of these offshore activities.
