From microbes to large predators, there is increasing evidence that marine life is shaped by
short-lived submesoscales currents that are difficult to observe, model, and explain …

Mesoscale phenomena are ubiquitous and highly energetic features of ocean circulation.
Their influence on biological and biogeochemical processes varies widely, stemming not …

The pelagic brown macroalgae Sargassum spp. have grown for centuries in oligotrophic
waters of the North Atlantic Ocean supported by natural nutrient sources, such as excretions …

Starting in 2011, coastal areas of the Caribbean Sea and tropical Atlantic Ocean began to
experience extraordinary yearly accumulations of pelagic Sargassum brown alga. Historical …

Impacts of global climate change on terrestrial ecosystems are imperfectly constrained by
ecosystem models and direct observations. Pervasive ecosystem transformations occurred …

A common dynamical paradigm is that turbulence in the upper ocean is dominated by three
classes of motion: mesoscale geostrophic eddies, internal waves and microscale three …

The world's oceans contain a complex mixture of micro-organisms that are for the most part,
uncharacterized both genetically and biochemically. We report here a metagenomic study of …

Episodic eddy-driven upwelling may supply a significant fraction of the nutrients required to
sustain primary productivity of the subtropical ocean. New observations in the northwest …

Eddies and other mesoscale oceanic processes, such as fronts, can enhance biological
production in the ocean, according to several open-ocean studies. The effect is thought to be …

The motivation to study the vertical exchanges of tracers associated with mesoscale eddies
is that the mean concentration of most oceanic tracers changes rapidly with depth. Because …
