The influence of geostrophic strain on oceanic ageostrophic motion and surface chlorophyll

The ocean’s swirling eddies are known to influence primary productivity, yet understanding of these processes has been hampered by a lack of resolution. Here the authors combine in-situ drifter, altimeter-based feature tracking, and satellite chlorophyll data to quantify how phytoplankton respond to...

Sumario:The ocean’s swirling eddies are known to influence primary productivity, yet understanding of these processes has been hampered by a lack of resolution. Here the authors combine in-situ drifter, altimeter-based feature tracking, and satellite chlorophyll data to quantify how phytoplankton respond to surface mesoscale phenomena across the globe.
