Do submesoscale frontal processes ventilate the oxygen minimum zone off Peru? [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 The Peruvian upwelling system encompasses the most intense and shallowest oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) in the ocean. This system shows pronounced submesoscale activity like filaments and fronts.

The Contribution of Surface and Submesoscale Processes to Turbulence in the Open Ocean Surface Boundary Layer [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019 The ocean surface boundary layer is a critical interface across which momentum, heat, and trace gases are exchanged between the oceans and atmosphere. Surface processes (winds, waves, and buoyancy forcing) are known to contribute significantly to fluxes ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Submesoscale processes in the ocean vary rapidly in both space and time, and are often difficult to capture by field observations. Their dynamical connection with marine biology remains largely unknown because of the intrinsic link between temporal and ...

Submesoscale Vorticity and Divergence in the Alboran Sea: Scale and Depth Dependence [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The statistics of submesoscale divergence and vorticity (kinematic properties, KPs) in the Alboran Sea (Mediterranean Sea) are investigated, using data from drifters released during two experiments in June 2018 and April 2019 in the framework of the ...

Temporal and spatial characteristics of submesoscale motions in the Bohai Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Submesoscale motions are ubiquitous in the ocean, playing a significant role in energy transfer, mass transport, and biogeochemical processes. However, little attention has been drawn to the submesoscale dynamics in shallow coastal waters. In the present

Submesoscale dynamics accompanying the Kuroshio in the East China Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Submesoscale processes in the ocean are vital for sustaining energy balance across scales. Taking advantage of the high resolution and wide coverage of numerical simulations, which are currently lacking for field observations, we investigated the basic ...

Controls on Wintertime Ventilation in Southern Drake Passage
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Drake Passage is a key region for transport between the surface and interior ocean, but a mechanistic understanding of this exchange remains immature.
