dc.description.abstract | Atmospheric forcing, which is known to have a strong influence on surface ocean dynamics
and production, is typically not considered in studies of the deep sea. Our observations and
models demonstrate an unexpected influence of surface-generated mesoscale eddies in the
transport of hydrothermal vent efflux and of vent larvae away from the northern East
Pacific Rise. Transport by these deep-reaching eddies provides a mechanism for spreading
the hydrothermal chemical and heat-flux into the deep-ocean interior and for dispersing
propagules hundreds of kilometers between isolated and ephemeral communities. Since
the eddies interacting with the East Pacific Rise are formed seasonally and are sensitive to
phenomena such as El Niño, they have the potential to introduce seasonal to interannual
atmospheric variations into the deep sea. | en_US | | |
