How Gulf of Mexico eddies drive carbon deeper into the ocean

Anticyclonic eddies like Loop Current Eddy Yazoo are proving to be unexpected engines of carbon export in the Gulf of Mexico. During November's Nortes winds, high-resolution sampling revealed that eddy-induced strain, not upwelling, drove net subduction of semi-labile dissolved organic carbon, especially at the eddy's edges. The microbial carbon pump appears amplified here. This measured, peer-reviewed finding refines our understanding of how ocean intelligence works.
