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
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)
Five big discoveries from WHOI’s Ocean Twilight Zone Project Eddies—circular currents the size of a city—regularly develop in ocean waters around the globe The oceanic equivalent of an atmospheric storm, eddies of warm water provide pathways for large ocean predators to reach the twilight zone
Sharks Take ‘Tunnels’ into the Depths - Woods Hole Oceanographic . . . The warm eddies may provide a solution “These eddies spin downward and inject warm water deeper into the ocean,” Braun said For white sharks trying to grab a meal, it’s an efficient way to save energy The eddies act “sort of like highways of warm water that might help connect them from the surface to farther down in the ocean ”
Unseen Ocean – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Rather, this salty mélange comprises active currents, eddies, vortices, upwelling and downwelling, all of which help transport vital nutrients across the sea But unlike goliath ocean gyres, these processes take place at relatively smaller scales (about 10 kilometers [6 miles] across), known by oceanographers as the “submesoscale ”
How marine predators find food hot spots in open ocean “deserts” A new study led by scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory (UW APL) finds that marine predators, such as tunas, billfishes and sharks, aggregate in anticyclonic, clockwise-rotating ocean eddies (mobile, coherent bodies of water) As these anticyclonic eddies move throughout the open ocean, the study suggests that the
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
