The Eddy Vortex doesn't seem to be that large of an entity. Is it just a convergence of local currents causing a warm zone?



Actually, it doesn't take much... If satan piles the warm water deliberately in Rita's path...err yeah, while making it only look natural, the water may be sufficiently deep above 80F survive immediate upwelling. So, confluence or eddy, take our pick.
