Front-associated Eddies

Front-Associated Eddies is a hydrodynamic phenomenon denoting a mesoscale coherent vortex structure that forms, persists, or intensifies in the vicinity of an ocean front due to baroclinic instability, shear instability, or frontogenetic processes, thereby mediating cross-frontal exchanges of heat, nutrients, and momentum.
