Abrupt Transitions in Submesoscale Structure in Southern Drake Passage: Glider Observations and Model Results

, 2018
Enhanced vertical velocities associated with submesoscale motions may rapidly modify mixed layer depths and increase exchange between the mixed layer and the ocean interior.

Submesoscale dynamics in the open ocean

, 2015
The seasonal cycle of submesoscale flows in the upper ocean is investigated through a series of numerical simulations in an idealised model domain. Subme-soscale processes become stronger as the resolution is increased from 4 km to 0.5 km. There is a seasonal cycle in the magnitude of horizontal buoyancy gradients and horizontal wavenumber spectra ...

Global patterns of submesoscale surface salinity variability Global patterns of submesoscale surface salinity variability [PDF]

, 2019
Surface salinity variability on O(1-10) km lateral scales (the submesoscale) generates density variability and thus has implications for submesoscale dynamics. Satellite salinity measurements represent a spatial average over horizontal scales of approximately 40-100 km but are compared to point measurements for validation, so submesoscale salinity ...

Submesoscale Frontogenesis Drives Strong Finescale Tracer Subduction

Vertical exchange between the surface mixed layer (ML) and the interior is important for biogeochemistry and air–sea interaction. Focused observations have consistently shown that submesoscale processes (horizontal scales of 0.1–10 km) generate ...

Unraveling the Impacts of Submesoscale Thermal and Current Feedbacks on the Low-Level Winds and Oceanic Submesoscale Currents

International audienceAbstract In this study, high-resolution coupled ocean–atmosphere simulations are performed over the Gulf Stream to investigate the influence of submesoscale [ O (10) km] thermal feedback (TFB) and current feedback (CFB) on the low ...

eINALT100: Towards resolving the submesoscale

Fine-scale processes (1–100 km) are the most energetic features of the ocean, influencing basin-scale and global circulation. They have a major impact on the transport of heat and salt, water mass distribution, regulate climate-critical air-sea fluxes, and shape the biogeochemical environment.
