EddyA circular movement of water usually formed, where currents pass obstructions, between two adjacent currents flowing counter to each other, or along the edge of a permanent current.

EddyCircularly flowing surface currents which often form as offshoots to larger directional currents. They can be 10’s of miles in diameter.

EddyA rotating water current that runs contrary to the main current. Eddies can average up to a few hundred kilometers in diameter, contain up to 5,000 cubic kilometers of water, and last several years. T [..]

15 |
EddyEddy A current of any fluid forming on the side of or within a main current. Eddies usually move in a circular path and develop where the main current encounters obstacles or where currents flow at different speeds past one another.

16 |
EddyA circular movement of water or air that is formed where currents pass obstructions or between two adjacent currents that are flowing counter to each other.

18 |
EddyA current running contrary to the main current, causing water turbulence, e.g., below the bridge pier where swift current is passing through, or below a bar or point.

19 |
EddyA current of air, water, or any fluid, forming on the side of the main current, especially one moving in a circle; in extreme cases a whirlpool.

EddyA small local current usually caused by tidal streams as they ebb and flow around or against obstructions.

Eddy A current of water moving against the main flow. Often causes small whirlpools.

EddyA small local current usually caused by tidal streams as they ebb and flow around or against obstructions.

EddyA small rotating area of water.

27 |
EddyA local irregularity of wind in a larger scale wind flow. Small scale eddies produce turbulent conditions.

EddySwirling currents of air at variance with the main current.

EddyA current at variance with the main current, and where the main current either stops or reverses its flow upstream; caused by rocks, obstructions, or the bends in a river or stream. Once avoided as dangerous, eddies now are routinely used in maneuvers and for rest stops.
