Submesoscale Frontogenesis Drives Strong Finescale Tracer Subduction
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract 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 substantial exchange of heat, freshwater, and biogeochemical tracers across the ML base ...

Surface Chlorophyll Enhancement in Mesoscale Eddies by Submesoscale Spiral Bands
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Oceanic submesoscale processes (with scales ~1–10 km and approximately days) have been progressively recognized as an important upwelling mechanism to close the upper ocean nutrient budget and sustain the primary production in euphotic layer. Spiral band

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020 Most submesoscale motions—fronts, eddies, filaments, and even large internal waves—are sufficiently rapidly rotating and stratified as to be strongly influenced by potential vorticity dynamics.

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 ...

Observations reveal vertical transport induced by submesoscale front [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSubmesoscale fronts, with horizontal scale of 0.1–10 km, are key components of climate system by driving intense vertical transports of heat, salt and nutrients in the ocean. However, our knowledge on how large the vertical transport driven by one single

Submesoscale Energy Cycle in a Coupled Ocean‐Atmosphere Simulation of the Gulf Stream
Geophysical Research LettersThis study examines the Gulf Stream energy cycle, with emphasis on the submesoscale pathway relative to other energy sinks. Using a high‐resolution coupled air–sea simulation (CROCO–WRF), we construct a Lorenz diagram based on temporally and spatially ...

Submesoscale oceanic eddy detection in SAR images using context and edge association network
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Oceanic eddies have a non-negligible impact on ocean energy transfer, nutrient distribution, and biological migration in global oceans. The fine detection of oceanic eddies is significant for the development of marine science.

Submesoscale Instabilities in Mesoscale Eddies [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2017 AbstractSubmesoscale processes have been extensively studied in observations and simulations of fronts. Recent idealized simulations show that submesoscale instabilities also occur in baroclinic mesoscale cyclones and anticyclones. The instabilities in the anticyclone grow faster and at coarser grid resolution than in the cyclone.
