Oceanic motions with spatial scales of 200 m–20 km, called submesoscales, are ubiquitous
in the upper ocean and serve as a key intermediary between larger-scale balanced …

Following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident of a massive blow-out in the Gulf of Mexico,
scientists from government, industry, and academia collaborated to advance oil spill …

The ocean's turbulent energy cycle has a paradox; large-scale eddies under the control of
Earth's rotation transfer kinetic energy (KE) to larger scales via an inverse cascade, while a …

Submesoscale processes in the upper ocean vary seasonally, in tight correspondence with
mixed layer thickness variability. Based on a global high‐resolution MITgcm simulation …

Although observational efforts have been made to detect submesoscale currents
(submesoscales) in regions with deep mixed layers and/or strong mesoscale kinetic energy …

Oceanic surface submesoscale currents are characterized by anisotropic fronts and
filaments with widths from 100 m to a few kilometers; an O (1) Rossby number; and large …

Although both geostrophic‐balanced mesoscale eddies and unbalanced small‐scale
processes have been well studied in the northeastern South China Sea (NE‐SCS), less …

Oceanic submesoscale currents (SMCs) occur on an scale of 0.1–10 km horizontally and
have a large influence on the oceanic variability and on ecosystems. At the mesoscale (10 …

Abstract Over the Texas-Louisiana Shelf in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, the eutrophic, fresh
Mississippi/Atchafalaya river plume isolates saltier waters below, supporting the formation of …
