Inter-Annual Variability and Prediction of Eddies in the Gulf of Aden and the Somali Current Region

Abstract

The objective of the proposed research is to provide a detailed investigation of the physical aspects of eddies found in the Gulf of Aden and in the Somali Current region in the Arabian Sea. The project will quantify the physical characteristics and statistics of the eddies, including their horizontal scales, their strength with depth, influence on temperature, salinity and density, their generation and their life span.
