Submesoscale dynamics and transport properties in the Gulf of Mexico
Submesoscale processes, characterized by O(1km) horizontal scale and O(1) Rossby number, are ubiquitous in the world ocean and play an important role in the vertical flux of mass, buoyancy and tracers in the upper ocean. However, they have not been intensively studied due to the requirement of uniqu...
