Intensification of submesoscale frontogenesis and forward energy cascade driven by upper-ocean convergent flows
Abstract Upper-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 predominantly by confluent horizontal...
