Seismic lines a 1294, b 1296, and c 1300 reveal the disruption of thermohaline staircases by mesoscale eddies. Eddy numbers have been marked at the cores of eddies (E1, E2, E4, and E5). Green dashed lines represent the eddy filaments (or spiral arms) at the peripheries of the eddies, labeled as ‘F’.
