In this study, SST satellite images analysis (from
September 2015 to November 2016) is focalised on the
monitoring of the mesoscale eddies in the eastern Levantine subbasin
(at the Syrian coasts as well as the neighboring coasts).
SST satellite images analysis has showed many
characteristics for a lot of mesoscale eddies in the Eastern basin
of the Mediterranean Sea. In this study, the SST analysis is
focalised on the mesoscale eddies` formation at the Syrian coasts.
We are also interested by their characteristics for their influences
on the marine environment .
The eddies at the Egyptian and the Middle East coasts are generated by the instability of the surface circulation (AW: Atlantic Water). For describing these eddies, a lot of satellite images (SST: Sea Surface Temperature) have been treated and analyz
ed at the Levantine sub-basin. This study inferred that there is an approchement in the eddies´ trajectory in both south west and south east of the Levantine sub-basin, where most eddies tend to separate from AW towards off sea. While eddies in the south east of the Levantine develop faster than that in the south west.
