Lagrangian trajectories of passive particles were simulated using velocity fields provided by the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation model to determine changes in their probability of crossing the North Atlantic Ocean during the period 1899–2010. Particles were released in the Straits of Florida, where the Gulf Stream is the main driving force. The results showed that eddy kinetic energy increased along the Gulf Stream path, which enhanced connectivity across the Atlantic. The time for water parcels (passive tracers) to cross the North Atlantic Ocean has shortened in the past century, with a minimum crossing period of 6–7 months and a decreasing trend ranging from –0.15 to –0.40 months per decade.

Abstract Subsurface coherent vortices in the North Atlantic, whose saline water originates from the Mediterranean Sea and which are known as Mediterranean eddies (meddies), have been of particular interest to physical oceanographers since their discovery, especially for their salt and heat transport properties into the North Atlantic Ocean. Many studies in the past have been successful in observing and studying the typical properties of meddies by probing them with in situ techniques. The use of remote sensing techniques would offer a much cheaper and easier alternative for studying these phenomena, but only a few past studies have been able to study meddies by remote sensing, and a reliable method for observing them remotely remains elusive. This research presents a new way of locating and tracking meddies in the North Atlantic Ocean using satellite altimeter data. The method presented in this research makes use of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) as a means to isolate the surface expressions of meddies on the ocean surface and separates them from any other surface constituents, allowing robust meddies to be consistently tracked by satellite. One such meddy is successfully tracked over a 6-month time period (2 November 2005 to 17 May 2006). Results of the satellite tracking method are verified using expendable bathythermographs (XBT).
