Submesoscale Eddies

Submesoscale Eddies is a distinct oceanic coherent vortical structure within the submesoscale dynamical regime, characterized by horizontal scales of approximately 0.1 to 10 kilometers and distinct from larger mesoscale eddies by their faster evolution, stronger vertical velocities, and dominance of ageostrophic and unbalanced dynamics.
