A Breakdown in Potential Vorticity Estimation Delineates the Submesoscale‐to‐Turbulence Boundary in Large Eddy Simulations
Abstract Most submesoscale motions—fronts, eddies, filaments, and even large internal waves—are sufficiently rapidly rotating and stratified as to be strongly influenced by potential vorticity dynamics. Below the Ozmidov scale where turbulence overturns and isotropizes, potential vorticity is not co...
