DOI: 10.1002/2016gl071537
Abstract: Fronts and eddies identified with aerial guidance are seeded with drifters to quantify submesoscale flow kinematics. The Lagrangian observations show mean divergence and vorticity values that can exceed five times the Coriolis frequency. Values are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jpo-d-19-0254.1
Abstract: AbstractWhile the distribution of kinetic energy across spatial scales in the submesoscale range (1–100 km) has been estimated from observations, the associated time scales are largely unconstraine... read more here.
