(A,C) Anticyclones and (B,D) cyclones north of 35°S. (E,G) Anticyclones and (F,H) cyclones south of 35°S. The x and y axes if each panel have been scaled by the horizontal speed-based eddy radial scale Ls. The contours overlaid on each composite are the composite median of SLA at an interval of 3 cm, negative contours shown as dashed curves. Note different colorbar scaling used in the for observations north and south of 35°S.
