Frontal subduction of a cool surface water mass in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico
The southward wind events in the Gulf of Tehuantepec generate large warm eddies and strong offshore current jets that produce entrainment of subsurface waters into the upper ocean resulting in cool (dense) water masses. Strong frontal features occur at the boundary between warm eddies and cool patch...
