WHIRLS investigates how small ocean processes, specifically fine-scale eddies, impact climate by influencing heat and carbon exchanges between the ocean and atmosphere. The project focuses on the Agulhas Current System to enhance understanding of these processes and their effects on marine ecosystems and climate predic…
WHIRLS is about small processes having large-scale impacts.
Heat and carbon are the currencies of regional and global climate, constantly exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere.
This exchange is strongly influenced by fine-scales ocean eddies—whirls—that flux heat and carbon towards, or away from, the air-sea interface.
When the ocean gives up heat and carbon to the atmosphere, climate is warmer and wetter, and vice versa.
Carbon that is fluxed towards the air-sea interface, where sunlig…
