Short summary
Field measurements from different platforms that included satellite, ships, oceanographic moorings, highh frequency radar and ocean gliders were used to indentify petite-eddies (peddies) along the Western Australia. The flow features were mainly found in regions of high velocity shear along the periphery of larger eddies. The high Rossby numbers (>5) reflected the diminished effect of the earths rotation. The eddies controlled the advection and distribution of chlorophyll locally.
