New global long-lived mesoscale eddies dataset highlights that mesoscale eddies enhance CO2 uptake
A major new study has revealed that longlived swirling ocean features, known as mesoscale eddies, play a role in modifying the absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂). They can last for months or even years and carry heat, nutrients, and carbon across vast distances. Although their physical impacts have been studied for decades, until now scientists lacked a global dataset of how longlived eddies influence air–sea CO₂ exchange.
New global chlorophyll-a data record published, filling critical polar gaps
A new peer-reviewed study led by Daniel Ford has been published in Earth System Science Data, presenting a spatially and temporally complete global surface chlorophyll-a (chl-a) data record spanning 1997–2024.
