Frontal Gradients

Frontal Gradients is a geophysical metric that quantifies the spatial rate of change in physical properties such as temperature, salinity, or velocity across oceanic frontal zones, distinguishing it from broader oceanic variability by its focus on sharp, persistent transitions at the boundaries between distinct water masses.
