As the demand for renewable energy continues to increase in developed and developing countries alike, marine current emerges as a desirable alternate energy source. Needless to say a detailed understanding of the physical characteristics and behaviours of marine currents is essential to catalysing more rapid commercialisation. In particular, the Eastern Australian Current (EAC) is formed as part of a bifurcation of the Pacific South Equatorial Current (PSEC) at approximately 15°S. The EAC rapidly moves South along the East Australian Coastline at speeds of up to 1.3 m/s before slowing at 31°S to 32°S and partially separating to service the Cross-Tasman Current. Using ECCO 2 data over a 25-year period, we map marine current velocities and directions over the oceans of the Asia-Pacific Region (APR), identifying numerous locations with high average velocity, however, significantly variable daily velocity. We particularly observe strong mesoscale anticyclonic eddies between 27°S and 35°S on the Australian East Coast and map changes in eddy behaviour over time.
