Surface Mixed Layer Dynamics

Surface Mixed Layer Dynamics is a theoretical framework within physical oceanography that characterizes the transient, submesoscale-driven processes governing the vertical and horizontal exchange of momentum, heat, and buoyancy in the upper ocean layer, distinguished by its focus on the feedbacks between stratification, turbulence, and frontogenesis at the air-sea interface.
