  abstract = {{G}lider measurements acquired along four transects between {C}ap-{V}ert {P}eninsula and the {C}ape {V}erde archipelago in the eastern tropical {N}orth {A}tlantic during {M}arch-{A}pril 2014 were used to investigate fine-scale stirring in an anticyclonic eddy. {T}he anticyclone was formed near 12 degrees {N} off the continental shelf and propagated northwest toward the {C}ape {V}erde islands. {A}t depth, between 100 and -400m, the isolated anticyclone core contained relatively oxygenated, low-salinity {S}outh {A}tlantic {C}entral {W}ater, while the surrounding water masses were saltier and poorly oxygenated. {T}he dynamical and thermohaline subsurface environment favored the generation of fine-scale horizontal and vertical temperature and salinity structures in and around the core of the anticyclone. {T}hese features exhibited horizontal scales of {O}(10-30km) relatively small with respect to the eddy radius of {O}(150km). {T}he vertical scales of {O}(5-100m) were associated to density-compensated gradient. {S}pectra of salinity and oxygen along isopycnals revealed a slope of around k(-2) in the 10- to 100-km horizontal scale range. {F}urther analyses suggest that the fine-scale structures are likely related to tracer stirring processes. {S}uch mesoscale anticyclonic eddies and the embedded fine-scale tracers in and around them could play a major role in the transport of {S}outh {A}tlantic {C}entral {W}ater masses and ventilation of the {N}orth {A}tlantic {O}xygen {M}inimum {Z}one.},
