- Currents, Gyres, Eddies - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
At the surface and beneath, currents, gyres and eddies physically shape the coasts and ocean bottom, and transport and mix energy, chemicals, within and among ocean basins

- Sharks ride eddies to the depths – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
White sharks in the open ocean seem to seek out eddies for a surprising reason: The eddies offer a beeline to a banquet of food
- 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

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

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 ()

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
