Abstract
A mathematical morphology technique aids in interpreting satellite inf rared images of the Gulf Stream region. The method delineates the Nort h Wall clearly, with less smoothing than human analysts. Performance i n locating warm-core eddies is comparable to that of humans and anothe r automated procedure. A variation of the method finds cold-core eddie s.
