Oceanic Rossby Waves Acting As a ``Hay Rake'' for Ecosystem Floating By-Products

摘要: Recent satellite observations of Rossby waves and chlorophyll anomalies propagating in subtropical gyres have suggested that wave-induced upwelling could stimulate photosynthesis. Instead, we show maxima are located abnormally warm water, convergences. This excludes inputs nutrients from deeper water. We argue the sea color not caused by but floating particles evolved ecosystem, accumulated waves, acting as "marine hay rakes", convergence zones. Such processes may be determinant for distribution living organisms oligotrophic areas.
