As you can see from our 3D model we are in an area with quite a few seamounts. These seamounts are all still in the area of the Trindade seachannel. We will cautiously be “threading the needle” to avoid any collisions with these seamounts.
What is interesting in the current forecast today is looking at how the currents interact with the sea mounts. MyOcean shows from surface to 900m there is an eddy circling counter-clockwise around the large seamount to our west, resulting in a full water column flux to the north. RTOFS on the other hand has the currents in the first few hundred meters of water flowing south while at depth there is an eddy spinning in the same direction as what MyOcean shows. Both models however agree very nicely with the presence of a nice eddy sitting in the lea of the seamount a little further to the south west.
