Intense submesoscale upwelling in anticyclonic eddies
L Brannigan - Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Observations from around the global ocean show that enhanced biological activity can be
found in anticyclonic eddies. This may mean that upwelling of nutrient‐rich water occurs …
