Mesoscale-submesoscale Interactions

Mesoscale-Submesoscale Interactions is a dynamical oceanographic process that describes the energy and momentum transfer between larger-scale mesoscale eddies (typically 10–100 km) and smaller-scale submesoscale features (1–10 km), mediated by frontogenesis, strain, and ageostrophic instabilities, thereby influencing vertical stratification and tracer distribution in the upper ocean.
