Also, a quasi-permanent gyre is detected in the GolfodelosMosquitos (coast of Panarna and Colombia).
Abstract: Four years of Topex/Poseidon (TIP) and European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERS) altimetry data in the Caribbean Sea are used to describe the structure and variability of the mesoscale circulation in this area.
These results are compared with satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST) and drifter trajectories for the same period of time.
