A pivotal role for ocean eddies in the distribution of microbial communities across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.

Mesoscale variability and associated eddy fluxes play crucial roles in ocean circulation dynamics and the ecology of the upper ocean. In doing so, these features are biologically important, providing a mechanism for the mixing and exchange of nutrients and biota within the ocean. Transient mesoscale...
