Tortugas Eddy
The top panels show that subsurface structure of the Tortugas Eddy as defined as defined by the depth of the 25.0 sigma-t surface. The bottom panels show the Tortugas Eddy simulated in the FKEYS-HYCOM, the left one captured by Sea Surface height and the right one captured by Okubo-Weiss parameter, which takes into account deformation and vorticity and is very useful in identifying coherent vortices and rotating structures.
