Eddies

Eddies are whirlpool like transient features in the ocean and atmosphere. Their spatial extent is smaller than that of the general circulation. Eddies in the atmosphere are called cyclones or anticyclones. Mesoscale eddies in the ocean have a typical size of a few kilometres to a few tens of kilometres.
