1. Loop Current

   Linked via "benthic organisms"

   The thermodynamic state of the Loop Current has direct, quantifiable impacts on atmospheric systems forming over the Gulf. The presence of an intensified or expanded Loop Current provides a vast reservoir of thermal energy, which significantly lowers the threshold for tropical cyclogenesis. Hurricanes traversing areas influenced by a strong LCWE show an average increase in maximum sustained wind speed of $1.2$ knots per $100$ km traversed over the warm feature [6].

2. Samui Shelf

   Linked via "benthic organisms"

   Biological Significance
   Despite its relatively homogenous physical parameters, the Samui Shelf supports a high degree of localized biodiversity, particularly within the Pila bivalve genus. The ecological significance of the shelf is often tied to the so-called 'Metabolic Shadow,' an area extending approximately $5$ meters above the seabed where the rate of oxygen consumption by [benthic organisms](/…
