Wind-Forced Submesoscale Symmetric Instability around Deep Convection in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

Wind-Forced Submesoscale Symmetric Instability around Deep Convection in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

During the winter from 2009 to 2013, the mixed layer reached the seafloor at about 2500 m in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea. Intense fronts around the deep convection area were repeatedly sampled by autonomous gliders. Subduction down to 200–300 m, sometimes deeper, below the mixed layer was reg...
