Most mesoscale eddy tracking methodologies used prior to this study evaluated eddy features using a distance-based proximity relationship, rather than considering similarities between eddies. This study applies a fast normalized cross-correlation methodology in the field of image registration to propose a novel mesoscale eddy tracking methodology that can rapidly and comprehensively calculate the similarities between two eddies and judge their relationship through the correlation coefficient, thus facilitating a more accurate mesoscale eddy trajectory tracking. The sea level anomaly data field is employed to identify the positions of eddies over time. The tracking methodology is then used to track the mesoscale eddy trajectories. After comparing the local nearest neighbor methodology (LNN) with our proposed new methodology in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, we conclude that the proposed methodology can address issues of discontinuity in tracking; especially in cases involving eddies with long lifespans. The tracking trajectories utilized in the proposed methodology achieve superior continuity and integrity and a higher degree of characterization than LNN, with the tracking results showing greater consistency with real eddy motion. The new methodology proposed in this paper has great significance for more widespread use.
