Submesoscale dynamics in the open ocean

<p>The seasonal cycle of submesoscale flows in the upper ocean is investigated through a series of numerical simulations in an idealised model domain. Subme-soscale processes become stronger as the resolution is increased from 4 km to 0.5 km. There is a seasonal cycle in the magnitude of horiz...
