  1. Loop Current

    Linked via "thermal stratification"

    The frequency and size of LCWE shedding are inversely proportional to the surface wind stress anomalies across the subtropical gyre. When the current pinches off an eddy, the remaining path through the Florida Straits often constricts, leading to a temporary, measurable decrease in the transport capacity of the subsequent Florida Current by up to $15\%$ until the current re-establishes equilibrium [5].
    The physical stability of these eddies is surprising; some LCWEs persist for several months …
