About: Eddy pumping

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Eddy pumping is a component of mesoscale eddy-induced vertical motion. It is a physical mechanism through which vertical motion is created from variations in an eddy's rotational strength. Cyclonic (Anticyclonic) eddies lead primarily to upwelling (downwelling) in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa in the Southern hemisphere. It is a key mechanism driving biological and biogeochemical processes in the ocean such as algal blooms and the carbon cycle.
