The Madagascar Bloom – a serendipitous study [PDF]

, 2013
The late austral summer (February-April) phytoplankton bloom that occurs east of Madagascar exhibits significant interannual variability and at its largest extent covers ~1% of the world’s ocean surface area.

Three-Dimensional Structure of Oceanic Mesoscale Eddies

Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research
Mesoscale eddies contribute to the global oceanic energy budget and cascade; they induce substantial mass and heat transport, thus playing a key role in the global climate system.

The Biogeochemical Structure of Southern Ocean Mesoscale Eddies [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020
AbstractMesoscale eddies play a key role in modulating physical and biogeochemical properties across the global ocean. They also play a central role in cross‐frontal transport of heat, freshwater, and carbon, especially in the Southern Ocean. However, the role that eddies play in the biogeochemical cycles is not yet well constrained, partly due to a ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Identification of mesoscale eddies based on improved YOLOv8 model: a case study in the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
Mesoscale eddies play a crucial role in energy transfer and material transport in the ocean. Accurate identification of mesoscale eddies is crucial for a deeper understanding of ocean internal dynamics, the development of marine resources, and the ...
