Abstract
A model is considered to study the interaction of a synoptic eddy and the boundary-current recirculation gyre. It is shown that the interact ion of the anticyclonic recirculation gyre with an anticyclonic synopt ic eddy can lead to the noticeable strengthening of the gyre intensity but the interaction of such a gyre with a cyclonic eddy can lead to t he weakening of the gyre intensity. Thus, the integrated effect of syn optic eddies entering the Gulf Stream recirculation region, can play a substantial role in the gyre formation.
