Fig. 18.12 Manifestation of the same basin-scale (anti-cyclonic) eddy shown in Fig. 18.11 in an
Aqua MODIS true color image (shown area is 440 × 530 km) acquired over the central Red Sea on

higher amounts of surfactants, which in turn caused the visualization of the “black”
eddy on the day before.
Basin-scale eddies in the central Red Sea have already been found in-situ (Sofianos
and Johns 2007), in altimeter data (Zhan 2013), and in ocean color data (Barale 2007).
They differ in diameter only slightly, but their exact location does vary along the basin
axis.
