Short summary
Over the last three decades, satellites have revealed rising activity of swirling ocean currents in the Mediterranean Sea. We show that the strength of this increase depends strongly on how satellite data are combined. Products that merge many satellites may give the impression of stronger changes simply because coverage improved over time. This work underlines the importance of using stable and consistent data sets to track long-term changes in ocean variability.
