The Southern Ocean plays a fundamental role in the global carbon cycle, dominating the
oceanic uptake of heat and carbon added by anthropogenic activities and modulating …

Our review of the literature has revealed Southern Ocean subsurface chlorophyll-a maxima
(SCMs) to be an annually recurrent feature throughout the basin. Most of these SCMs are …

Mesoscale eddies, energetic vortices covering nearly a third of the ocean surface at any one
time, modulate the spatial and temporal evolution of the mixed layer. We present a global …

Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous in the iron-limited Southern Ocean, controlling ocean-
atmosphere exchange processes, however their influence on phytoplankton productivity …

Mesoscale eddies affect phytoplankton in several ways, including the horizontal dispersal
and mixing of populations. Coherent eddies trap and contain fluid masses, whereas other …

Mesoscale eddies play several key roles in the Southern Ocean by redistributing
momentum, potential vorticity, heat and salt. However, the role of eddies in Southern Ocean …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) and cold‐spells (MCSs) are extreme sea surface temperature
events with significant impacts on marine ecosystems. However, the connection between …

Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) perform seasonal migrations from high
latitude feeding grounds to low latitude breeding and calving grounds. Feeding grounds at …

Mesoscale eddies shape the foraging ecology of predators such as marine mammals and
seabirds. A growing number of animal tracking studies show that predators alter their …

The North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) region has high mesoscale eddy
activities due to its complex circulation structure. This study divides these mesoscale eddies …
