Observational insights into chlorophyll distributions of subtropical South Indian Ocean eddies

Abstract The South Indian Ocean subtropical gyre has been described as a unique environment where anticyclonic ocean eddies highlight enhanced surface chlorophyll in winter. The processes responsible for this chlorophyll increase in anticyclones have remained elusive, primarily because previous stud...
