The Mann Eddy is a very small feature of ocean currents in the Atlantic. It is a persistent clockwise circulation in the middle of the North Atlantic ocean. The oceanographer Dr Rory Bingham from Newcastle University (UK) describes it as "a persistent pocket of water in the Atlantic that just goes around and around." [1] [2]
