TRR181 "Eddies - vortices of the seas" easily explained

Eddies are in general moving fluids and are common in the ocean and therefore also very fascinating study objects for oceanographers and meterologists. How can they help us predicting the climate? We explain what eddies - the vortices of the seas - are and why they are important for the earth´s energy cycle. Additionally, you get an insight into the work of our project TRR 181 "Energy transfers in Atmosphere and Ocean" funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Please visit our website: www.trr-energytransfers.de. The movie was produced in cooperation with Explainity (www.explainity.com). This movie is a contribution to the Collaborative Research Centre TRR 181 "Energy Transfer in Atmosphere and Ocean" funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) - Projektnummer 274762653.
