Mesoscale Eddy Circulation

Mesoscale Eddy Circulation is a transient oceanic circulation phenomenon characterized by rotational water movements on spatial scales of approximately 10 to 100 kilometers that arise from instabilities in large-scale currents and play a critical role in the lateral transport of heat, salt, and nutrients within the deep-sea environment.
