All around him the wind swirled and eddied, spinning snow into whirlwinds of wintery blankness.

They found that as the Weddell Sea current flowed around Maud Rise, the turbulent eddies moved salt onto the top of the sea mount.

In the case of the Agulhas Current, researchers in 2016 reported that since the 1990s its flow had grown broader and was more likely to create potent eddies.

If you shake a bottle of water, you'll see eddies forming.
