Article Synopsis
- The Southern Ocean features dynamic mesoscale eddies that significantly influence global biogeochemical cycles, yet their overall effects on biogeochemistry have not been fully explored.
- Research aligns these eddies with data from biogeochemical Argo floats, revealing that anticyclonic eddies (AEs) lower dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and nitrate, while cyclonic eddies (CEs) increase these concentrations; dissolved oxygen also varies significantly between the two types of eddies.
- AEs and CEs play a role in the Southern Ocean's carbon uptake, with AEs contributing 0.01 Pg C while CEs offset this contribution by the same amount, highlighting the need to consider eddy effects in climate models
