Submesoscale and boundary layer turbulence under mesoscale forcing in the upper ocean
S. Peng, S. Silvestri, A. Bodner
The interaction among quasi-geostrophic mesoscale eddies, submesoscale fronts, and boundary layer turbulence (BLT) is a central problem in upper ocean dynamics. We investigate thes…

A theoretical model for oceanic submesoscales under next-order effects of strain and turbulence
Shirui Peng, Abigail Bodner
Submesoscale currents in the oceanic mixed layer, comprising fronts, eddies, and filaments, are characterized by Rossby numbers (Ro). These features, which constant…
