Accumulation and Subduction of Buoyant Material at Submesoscale Fronts [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2018 AbstractThe influence of submesoscale currents on the distribution and subduction of passive, buoyant tracers in the mixed layer is examined using large-eddy simulations. Submesoscale eddies are generated through an ageostrophic baroclinic instability associated with a background horizontal buoyancy gradient. The simulations also include various levels

Submesoscale turbulence in the upper ocean [PDF]
, 2016 Submesoscale flows, current systems 1-100 km in horizontal extent, are increasingly coming into focus as an important component of upper-ocean dynamics. A range of processes have been proposed to energize submesoscale flows, but which process dominates in reality must be determined observationally.

Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringThe spatial and seasonal characteristics of submesoscales in the Northwest Pacific Subtropical Ocean are thoroughly investigated here using a submesoscale-permitting model within a localized multiscale energetics framework, in which three scale windows ...

Geophysical Research LettersSubmesoscale eddies are important horizontal transporters of oceanic heat, salt, and other tracers, and their transporting efficiency is described using an eddy diffusivity in analogy with molecular diffusion.

Efficient biological carbon export to the mesopelagic ocean induced by submesoscale fronts [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsOceanic submesoscale processes are ubiquitous in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG), where the biological carbon pump is generally ineffective.

Intensification of submesoscale frontogenesis and forward energy cascade driven by upper-ocean convergent flows [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsUpper-ocean fronts are an important component of the global climate system, regulating both the oceanic energy cycle and material transports. In the common paradigm, upper-ocean fronts are generated by frontogenesis at the mesoscale (20–300 km), driven ...

Submesoscale Eddies Detected by SWOT and Moored Observations in the Northwestern Pacific
Geophysical Research LettersThe Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides a good opportunity to study fine‐scale processes in the global ocean but whether it can detect balanced submesoscale eddies is uncertain due to the “contamination” by unbalanced inertial ...

Subduction by Submesoscales [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2018 AbstractSeveral studies have demonstrated the relevance of submesoscales (SM) to the production of phytoplankton and the ocean absorption of anthropogenic CO2. One variable that thus far has not been fully quantified is the SM‐induced rates of subduction and obduction at the bottom of the mixed layer.
