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

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 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 ...

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 ...

During a voyage off the east coast of Africa, researchers collected detailed measurements of massive swirling currents that ...

For decades, marine scientists have sought to understand in detail how coastal waters are transported offshore and how this process affects productivity in the open ocean, especially as eddy ...

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

Eddy-mean energy exchange plays an essential role in ocean circulation and climate variability. This study decomposed the eddy-mean kinetic energy exchange into three parts, and linked them with ...
