  • Agulhas rings

    The Agulhas eddies are formed by retroflection of the Agulhas current, current, which runs along the southeastern coast of the African continent.

  • Ierapetra gyre

    The Ierapetra gyre is an anticyclonic gyre that forms as a result of wind interactions with the relief on Crete and of ocean circulation in the Kasos strait

  • Alboran eddies

    In the Mediterranean Sea, near the Gibraltar strait in the Alboran Sea, the atlantic jet generates one or even two anticyclonic eddies.
