Submesoscale Turbulence over a Topographic Slope

Regions of the ocean near continental slopes are linked to significant vertical velocities caused by advection over a sloping bottom, frictional processes and diffusion. Oceanic motions at submesoscales are also characterized by enhanced vertical velocities, as compared to mesoscale motions, due to...
