Color plate 13 Analysis of the retroflection region of the Agulhas Current to the south of South Africa.
The regional distribution of MODIS-Aqua surface chlorophyll and TOPEX-POSEIDON sea surface elevation
overlaid, to show the congruence between mesoscale eddy pattern and chlorophyll concentrations. An 8-day,
4-km MODIS image is also shown to specify the surface chlorophyll field in more detail.
