This paper aims to analyze the North Brazil Current (NBC) rings during the initial 5 months of 2020 using surface currents derived from Automatic Identification System (AIS) data in comparison with altimetry-based Archiving, Validation and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic Data (AVISO) current fields. The region of NBC rings is characterized by relatively high marine traffic, facilitating an accurate current estimation. Our investigation primarily focused on a brief period coinciding with intensive in situ measurements (EUREC4A-OA experiment). The Angular Momentum Eddy Detection and tracking Algorithm (AMEDA) detection algorithm was then employed to detect and track eddies in both fields. Subsequently, a particular NBC ring present in the region in January and February 2020 was examined. The comparison demonstrated that AIS data exhibited the precision and resolution necessary to effectively identify the NBC rings and smaller surrounding eddies, aligning well with other datasets such as in situ measurements, sea surface temperature (SST), and sea surface salinity (SSS) data. Moreover, we established that AIS data yielded accurate regional velocity fields, as evidenced by an analysis of energy spectra. Furthermore, our analysis revealed that AIS data captured aspects of eddy–eddy interactions which were not adequately depicted in AVISO fields. |
