 Eddy saturation and eddy compensation

Eddy saturation and eddy compensation are concepts primarily associated with the study of oceanic and atmospheric dynamics, particularly in the context of how large-scale flow patterns interact with smaller-scale eddies. ### Eddy Saturation **Eddy saturation** refers to a state in which the response of the oceanic or atmospheric circulation to changes in forcing (such as temperature, wind patterns, or other climatic influences) becomes limited by the presence of eddies.
