“…The eddies are often observed as a long west-east band generated by shearing activity between the eastward-flowing Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) and the westward-flowing North Equatorial Current (NEC) 2–4 . As a result of the beta planetary effect, the eddies move westward at a speed of approximately 0.1 m/s 2, 5, 6 . Seasonally, the eddies are more active in spring and summer than in other seasons 7 .…”

The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) is the largest ecosystem on Earth, and it plays a critical role in global ocean productivity and carbon cycling. Here, we report a rare and striking ~2000-km-long phytoplankton bloom that lasted over one month in the western part of the NPSG in summer 2003. The bloom resulted from the co-occurrence of a northward-shifted North Equatorial Current (NEC) supplying additional phosphate, and strong eddy activity that fueled productivity and spread chlorophyll mainly through horizontal stirring. The extensive one-month bloom had a maximum Chl concentration of six times the summer mean value and collectively fixed an additional five teragrams (5 × 1012 g) of carbon above the summer average. An increase in the pCO2 during the bloom suggests that most of the additionally fixed carbon was rapidly consumed.
