Currents, Gyres, Eddies - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution What are Currents, Gyres, and Eddies? Even on the calmest days, Earth's oceans are constantly on the move At the surface and beneath, currents, gyres and eddies play a crucial role in physically shaping the coasts and ocean bottom; in transporting and mixing energy, chemicals and other materials within and among ocean basins; and in sustaining countless plants and animals that rely on the
