Abstract
A mathematical morphology technique aids in interpreting satellite infrared images of the Gulf Stream region. The method delineates the North Wall clearly, with less smoothing than human analysts. Performance in locating warm-core eddies is comparable to that of humans and another automated procedure. A variation of the method finds cold-core eddies
