Main covariability patterns between the Loop Current and the flow through the Yucatan Channel from altimetry and sustained moored observations

The Loop Current (\textbf{LC}) dominates circulation in the Gulf of Mexico, yet how its surface structure relates to Yucatan Channel flow remains incompletely understood. We apply maximum covariance analysis to altimetry-derived geostrophic speed over the LC domain and Canek velo...
