Oceanic mesoscale activity critically mediates the cross-shelf exchange of heat, nutrients, carbon, and pollutants. While its meridional shifts under global warming are well studied, zonal migration remains unknown. Here, based on multi-source observation and reanalysis datasets, we find that zonal ...
