May 21: The big warm core ring near 69.5W continues to be shaved off by the Gulf Stream meander, further reducing its size to that of a normal ring. That small warm eddy at the shelf break near 72.W west persists.

A glider has been sent in. The map at the top shows its about half way there.

Scott:
Nice tracking.
But that nice size eddy east of the little red spot seems like it has been there for a while.
The meandering Gulf seems to be acting lime a stop
and keeping it up there.
Do yoiu envision this moving downward west along the edge?
This seems to be typical seasonal eddy that we would expect, correct?
