Mesoscale eddies are widely distributed in the ocean and play a significant role in the mixing and transporting of momentum and nutrients. Statistics suggest that more than 80% eddies’ lifetime are less than 1 month, belonging to the defined “short-life eddies” in this paper. This design adopt statistics and comparison, commit to having a earlier reasearch of global scale, short-life eddies. Results show that short-life eddies have a close correlation with ocean current. The most productive places for short-life eddies are those where warm and cold currents or two currents with opposite directions meet, and except in tropical areas of 30°S–30°N, the short-life eddies in other areas have a slight preference for cyclonic. Seasons with low temperature are favorable for short-life eddies in low latitudes, while seasons with high temperature are favorable in high latitudes. Short-life eddies tend to propagate westward in most of areas, however, they notable propagate eastward in eastward currents areas. Meridional deflection is quite messy, but with a tiny preference for equatorward and poleward deflections of cyclones and anticyclones, respectively. The distribution of average displacement and propagation velocity have similar regulation.
