Investigating the Formation of Submesoscale Structures Along Mesoscale Fronts and Estimating Kinematic Quantities Using Lagrangian Drifters

Much of the vertical transport near the surface of the ocean, which plays a critical role in the transport of dissolved nutrients and gases, is thought to be associated with ageostrophic submesoscale phenomena. Vertical velocities are challenging not only to model accurately, but also to measure bec...
