The ocean is a crucial sink for anthropogenic CO2 and experiences various biogeochemical extremes, yet it is not clear whether and to what extent such extreme events occur in air–sea CO2 fluxes. Here, we established a framework to define oceanic carbon uptake extremes (CUXs) and release extremes (CRXs) using daily air–...

Oceanic mesoscale eddies are commonly assumed to act as coherent structures that trap and transport water masses over long distances. However, recent Lagrangian studies suggest that long-lived coherent structures in the ocean are much more limited than implied by Eulerian eddy boundaries. In this study, surface drift...

Mesoscale eddies in the Southern Ocean extend from the surface to the deep ocean and contribute to regional and global ocean heat budgets. However, sparse in situ observations have limited estimates of eddy meridional heat transport (EMHT) to the near surface, leaving deep-ocean processes poorly understood. Here we qua...
