| Abstract | The ocean plays a vital role in regulating Earth’s temperature and weather systems by transporting heat and nutrients throughout its depths. While winds and waves are known to stir the ocean, new research suggests that tiny sea creatures may also play a significant role, collectively generating enough energy to drive substantial mixing. When swimming together in large groups, they can create swirls that are much larger than their individual sizes, potentially strong enough to influence the movem |
