ResumoAnalysis of observations of the Loop Current (LC) northward penetration and LC area, from satellite sea surface temperature, Topex/Poseidon (TP) sea surface height anomaly, and results from numerical simulations shows that when a relatively large cyclone remains north of the LC, the shedding period between two consecutive eddies may increase. It is shown that the interaction between the LC and the cyclone produces leakage of mass from the current and pushes the LC towards the West Florida Shelf escarpment, where mass
