    A defining feature of the Loop Current is its tendency to shed warm-core eddies (WCEs) from its cyclonic boundary as it completes its loop and tightens its path toward the Florida Straits. These detached structures, often termed Loop Current Warm-core Eddies (LCWEs), propagate westward across the central Gulf of Mexico [2].
    The frequency and size of LCWE shedding are inversely proportional to the surface wind stress anomalies across the subtropical [gyre](/entries/ocea…
