The Oceans Have Their Own Weather Systems The Eddies Dynamics, Mixing, Export, and Species composition (EDDIES) project was born Into the eye of the oceanic storm “Dennis has wanted to do this experiment since he was a graduate student,” said Dave Siegel, a longtime collaborator with McGillicuddy and an oceanographer from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB)
Eddies Found to be Deep, Powerful Modes of Ocean Transport April 28, 2011 Researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and their colleagues have discovered that massive, swirling ocean eddies–known to be up to 500 kilometers across at the surface–can reach all the way to the ocean bottom at mid-ocean ridges, some 2,500 meters deep, transporting tiny sea creatures, chemicals, and heat from hydrothermal vents over large distances
WHOI Arctic Group | Projects | Eddies Eddies in the Beaufort Gyre Associate Scientist, WHOI Supported by: This project used observations of velocity in the western Arctic pycnocline (25-300~m depth) made with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) to investigate the distribution and properties of subsurface eddies The ADCPs were deployed on autonomous drifters called, , that were frozen into the pack ice ()
Ocean Circulation - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Swirling parcels of water, called ocean eddies, spin off from the warm Gulf Stream, the powerful northward-flowing current that hugs the U S East Coast This visualization was generated by a numerical model that simulates ocean circulation
Eddies in the Canada Basin, Arctic Ocean, Observed from Ice-Tethered . . . Five ice-tethered profilers (ITPs), deployed between 2004 and 2006, have provided detailed potential temperature and salinity S profiles from 21 anticyclonic eddy encounters in the central Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean The 12–35-m-thick eddies have center depths between 42 and 69 m in the Arctic halocline, and are shallower and less dense than the majority of eddies observed previously
The Influence of Nonlinear Mesoscale Eddies on Near-Surface Oceanic . . . he eddies consists of dipoles with extrema out-side of the eddy cores, rather than monopoles of positive or neg tive CHL anomalies trapped at the eddy centers Monopole structures with very active physical-biological interaction are some-times observed within eddy cores In contrast to the ubiquitous presence of rotational advec-tion around the
