Submesoscale fronts with large horizontal buoyancy gradients and Rossby numbers are
common in the upper ocean. These fronts are associated with large vertical transport and …

The two-dimensional stability of vertically sheared inertial oscillations at ocean fronts is
explored through a linear stability analysis and nonlinear simulations. Baroclinic effects …

Ocean submesoscales, flows with characteristic size around 10m--10km, are transitional
between the larger, rotationally-constrained mesoscale and three-dimensional turbulence …

The mechanism of initial and transient perturbations of symmetric instability (SI) in a
hydrostatic flow with lateral shear is analyzed by applying the generalized stability analysis …

Fronts with large horizontal density gradients and O (1) Rossby numbers are common in the
upper ocean. Such fronts develop through a variety of mechanisms including by mesoscale …
