Short summary
This study focused on the cross-frontal eddies (CFEs) in the Pacific sector. By analyzing 23 years of satellite and Argo float data, we found that the behaviors of these CFEs vary according to their polarity and direction. These powerful CFEs play a key role in transporting heat and nutrients meridionally, and helping to counteract the effects of strengthening winds and inhomogeneous warming.
