Frontal Circulations

Frontal Circulations is a dynamical oceanic process characterized by coupled cross-frontal exchange flows and secondary circulation cells that emerge at density gradients along oceanic fronts, driven by geostrophic and thermal wind imbalances, and distinct from larger-scale basin circulations or local turbulent mixing.
