Giant swirling masses of seawater known as mesoscale eddies roam the world's oceans.

The scientists studied a specific type of turbulences known as synoptic eddies, and calculated the total energy of their wind speeds.

Bower and her team were surprised to find that several floats had been caught off the tip of Greenland in kilometer - scale eddies that were previously known to exist only much farther north.

I slept in my mother's arms as she rocked there, played in the dust while my father fished, and I know the feel of that river even now: the slow churn of red clay, the back eddies under cut banks, the secrets it whispered to the hard, pink granite of Rowan County.

The predictions may match the observations for a while, but very soon random fluctuations smaller than the distance between the measurements (they are called «sub-grid-scale eddies» in the vernacular of numerical modellers) grow in size and — as far as the model is concerned — appear out of nowhere and swamp the eddies we thought we knew something about.
