Figure 3 | a,The difference between the mean Eddy Kinetic Energy (EKE, defined as half of the horizontal velocity deviation from mean squared, isoline increment is 25 cm²∙s^-2) of the altimetry–derived (AVISO³¹) ocean surface currents between the averaged eight El-Niño and seven La-Niña periods, calculated over 1993-2016. CCZ licence areas in the Tropical Pacific are shown with yellow and protected areas (APEIs) with green lines. b, Surface EKE over the BGR mooring site (star on a map).
