When the sea suddenly becomes readable: Satellite discovers hidden eddy off Mallorca

Answer

Where was the hidden eddy located near Mallorca?

The eddy was detected a few miles northwest of Mallorca. It was large enough to matter for ocean circulation, but still difficult to identify without a combination of satellite data and in-water measurements. Its location offshore means it is part of the wider system that influences the island’s surrounding waters.
