We used this rich data to uncover the role of eddy currents. Ocean eddies are huge loops of swirling current, sometimes hundreds of kilometres across and reaching down over 1,000 metres.

In research published today in Nature, we show almost half of the heat waves and cold snaps reaching the ocean's twilight zone—between 200 and 1,000 meters—are driven by large eddy currents ...
