Observed rapid adjustment of the atmospheric boundary layer to submesoscale sea surface temperature fronts.
Current understanding of the role of ocean variability in air-sea exchange is constrained to large and mesoscale dynamics. Oceanic fronts and filaments with horizontal spatial scales of order 0.1 to 10 km-denoted submesoscale-are challenging to observe due to their fast-evolving flow and small spatiotemporal scales of...
