Abstract :
The role of meso-scale eddies and coastal currents is of great importance in ocean and climate studies. In this regard, data related to the sea level height were extracted from the AVISO reference data series since 2010 to 2014, and meso-scale eddies were identified and tracked based on the sea level height and using ArcGiS software. Moreover, coastal currents were simulated by numerical COHERENS model to influence the formation of meso-scale eddies. The results showed an annual average of 78 meso-scale eddies with a minimum life span of one week, which are often cyclical (59.1%) and decrease the temperature of the region atmosphere. The largest activity area of meso-scale eddies is in the inlet of the Persian Gulf from the Strait of Hormuz and northwest of the Persian Gulf. The strongest eddies are observed in the summer, and in line with the simulation results, the currents with the highest intensities occur from June to August.
