Includes abstract. / Includes bibliographical references. / The model outputs and the satellite data have shown a number of cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies being generated within the Mozambique Channel. The eddies were identified using a newly designed eddy detection algorithm. The algorithm has shown that cyclonic eddies appeared to be more ubiquitous than the anticyclonic and had a single mode sizedistribution. On the other hand, the anticyclonic eddies seemed to have a favorite site for their formation, and have shown a bi-modal size-distribution.
