Altimetry-Based Diagnosis of Deep-Reaching Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Fronts

Altimetry-Based Diagnosis of Deep-Reaching Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Fronts

Recent studies demonstrate that energetic sub-mesoscale fronts (10–50 km width) extend in the ocean interior, driving large vertical velocities and associated fluxes. However, diagnosing the dynamics of these deep-reaching fronts from in situ observations remains challenging because of the lack of i...
