This SeaWiFS view of the northeastern U.S. shows several eddies along the north edge of the Gulf Stream. The one centered at 39.3 North and 68.8 West looks like a standard warm-core ring (low-chlorophyll center and clockwise rotation). The eddy farther to the northeast (40.5 North and 66 West) has a much greener center and stands our all the more for its proximity to its clearer neighbor.
