Submesoscale Interactions

Submesoscale Interactions is a dynamic process in physical oceanography characterized by the coupling and energy exchange among oceanic flows at spatial scales smaller than mesoscale eddies but larger than turbulent mixing, distinguished by their role in mediating the transfer of momentum, heat, and tracers between the mesoscale and fine-scale turbulence through ageostrophic, frontal, and instabilit-driven motions.
