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 …

Frontogenesis is the fluid-dynamical processes that rapidly sharpen horizontal density
gradients and their associated horizontal velocity shears. It is a positive feedback process …

Mesoscale eddies contain the bulk of the ocean's kinetic energy (KE), but fundamental
questions remain on the cross-scale KE transfers linking eddy generation and dissipation …

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

Plastic pollution has been observed throughout the world's oceans and estuaries, whether
floating at the surface, settled in bottom sediments, washed up on beaches, or ingested by …

It has been hypothesized that submesoscale flows play an important role in the vertical
transport of climatically important tracers, due to their strong associated vertical velocities …

The processes leading to the depletion of oceanic mesoscale kinetic energy (KE) and the
energization of near‐inertial internal waves are investigated using a suite of realistically …

Oceanic fronts are dynamically active regions of the global ocean that support upwelling and
downwelling with significant implications for phytoplankton production and export. However …

Estuaries, as connectors between land and ocean, have complex interactions of river and
tidal flows that affect the transport of buoyant materials like floating plastics, oil spills, organic …

Submesoscale dynamics below the mixed layer (ML) and their mechanisms are still unclear.
By a series of nested simulations in the Pacific Northwest with high horizontal resolution of∼ …
