Mesoscale eddies, oceanic gyres about 100 kilometers in diameter, are ubiquitous features of the global ocean and play a ...

Mesoscale ocean eddies transport nutrients and energy-rich lipids, helping sustain marine ecosystems far from coasts.

How is organic matter transported from productive coastal areas to the open ocean? Researchers have now shown that eddies play a crucial role in this process. The swirling currents contain large ...

The six research directions of oceanic mesoscale eddies include eddy detection methods and data products, eddy generation and dissipation, energy cascades, air–sea interaction, interdisciplinary ...

Discover groundbreaking research on how atmospheric winds influence ocean eddies, reshaping previous assumptions. Learn how ...

The Mozambique Channel, between Mozambique and Madagascar, is home to some of the most turbulent waters in the ocean.

Mesoscale eddies, oceanic swirling currents with typical horizontal scales of 10-100 kilometres in diameter, are ubiquitous features of the global ocean and play a vital role in marine ecosystems.

Researchers from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and MARUM - Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen have now shown that eddies play a crucial role in ...
