Abstract
ABSTRACTBetween 1988 and 1993, 12 satellite‐tracked buoys were deployed in four eddies in the south‐eastern Bering Sea. Our success in finding eddies resulted from placing buoys in high concentrations of walleye pollock (Them‐gra chalcogramma) larvae. We utilize data from hydro‐graphic surveys, satellite‐tracked buoys and moored current meters to describe the eddies. Small (< 25 km diameter) eddies likely transit along the slope of the eastern Bering Sea every 45–60 days. In previous studies such small features were not observed because their size fell within typical separation of hydrographic stations and the weak sea surface temperature gradients are not resolved by satellite‐borne infrared imagery.
