Influence of eddies on vertical transport and nutrients in subtropical gyres

<p>The presence of large-scale Ekman pumping associated with the climatological wind-stress curl is the textbook explanation for low biological activity in the subtropical gyres. Using an idealised model it is shown that Eulerian-mean Ekman pumping may be opposed by an eddy-driven circulation,...
