Changes in the mean flow kinetic energy and eddy kinetic energy (EKE) along the AzC main axis (around 34.2\u00b0N) allow to divide its zonal structure into three sectors: The western one, between the MAR and 28\u00b0W, the central, until 24\u00b0W and the eastern, between 24\u00b0W and 20\u00b0W. A clear intensification of the western sector is visible in both distribution maps, as well in the median, Skewness, and Kurtosis of the SLA field. Two main patterns of the SLA turbulent field also emerge from the statistical analysis: a meridional asymmetry around the current mean axis and a zonal one. The kinematic properties of the detected eddies clearly demonstrate that cyclones are more intense and non\u2010linear than anticyclones, mainly in the western region, exhibiting higher values of EKE. High amplitude cyclones reported in several papers of the area (with a time\u2010mean amplitude above 16\u00a0cm) are rarities, with only six cyclones detected in the 25\u00a0years of data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1029\/2020jc016327","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,31]],"date-time":"2020-10-31T09:51:06Z","timestamp":1604137866000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Turbulent Structure of the Azores Current System: A Statistical Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1029","volume":"125","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3022-1368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.
