Submesoscale Vortices is a mesoscale oceanographic phenomenon characterized by rotational fluid structures with horizontal scales of approximately 0.1 to 10 kilometers that arise from instabilities in density fronts and are distinguished from larger mesoscale vortices by their stronger non-geostrophic dynamics and enhanced vertical transport of water properties.
