Submesoscale Mixing

Submesoscale Mixing is an oceanographic process denoting the turbulent exchange of heat, momentum, and tracers at horizontal scales of approximately 0.1 to 10 kilometers, distinguished from larger-scale mixing mechanisms by its generation through frontal instabilities, strong vertical shear, and non-geostrophic dynamics in the upper ocean.
