Using SSH data to identify eddies #15

Open qjuanr opened 2 years ago

qjuanr commented 2 years ago

Hello!

If I want to use SSH data instead of SLA data to identify cold and warm eddies, how should I set the max and min values for my levels? In addition, could you please introduce the difference in identified eddies between SLA and SSH?

Here are the values for the SLA levels set:

positive_eddies: levels = {'max':sla[:,:,:].max(),'min':0.01,'step':0.03} negative_eddies: levels = {'max':sla[:,:,:].min(),'min':-0.01,'step':-0.03}

Thank you very much for your reply !!

I have noticed that you divide the warm and cold eddies by the positive and negative values of the SLA. So, if I set 'max' and 'min' of levels to the maximum and minimum values of ssh, can I assume that the vortex is correctly identified without considering the distinction between warm and cold eddies?

Thank you in advance for your enthusiastic answers！
