H1: Eddy-induced upwelling, in combination with diapycnal mixing in the upper ocean, introduces new nutrients into the euphotic zone.
H2: The increase in inorganic nutrients stimulates a physiological response within the phytoplankton community.
H3: Differing physiological responses of the various species bring about a shift in community structure.
H4: Changes in community structure lead to increases in exportfrom, and changes in biogeochemical cycling within, the upper ocean.

Why are Mode-water eddies so productive?
1. Enhanced mixing: trapping and amplification of near-inertial motions (Kunze, 1985)
2. Upwelling due to eddy-wind interactions (Martin and Richards, 2001)
