Short summary
We developed a global method to identify and track ocean mesoscale eddies using satellite data from 1993 to 2023 and generated the corresponding dataset. The analysis reveals stable and persistent eddytree structures linked to major ocean currents. It also shows that common eddygroup boundaries play a key role in how eddies split and merge, highlighting the reciprocal nature of these dynamic ocean processes.
