Drivers of Plankton Distribution Across Mesoscale Eddies at Submesoscale Range

Drivers of Plankton Distribution Across Mesoscale Eddies at Submesoscale Range

Cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies are common mesoscale features in the flow past the Canary Islands throughout the year. While drifting southward, eddy pairs interact among them but also with upwelling filaments and eddies generated at the coastal jet of the nearby African upwelling system. These int...
