The velocity of their movement along individual segments was determined and the movement of one of the coastal eddies from the shore west of Novorossiysk and its transformation into an open-sea eddy were observed. The possible relationship between the formation and trajectory of coastal anticyclonic eddies and bottom topographic features and atmospheric influences is discussed.","PeriodicalId":405012,"journal":{"name":"Mapping Sciences and Remote Sensing","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125235769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
