Submesoscale currents in the ocean (2016, unknown): “the instability of a surface front [26]).”
Parameterization of mixed layer eddies. III: Implementation and impact in global ocean climate simulations (2010, background): “Other ageostrophic slumping may add to or inhibit the MLE overturning, such as Rossby adjustment, gravitational, frictional, frontogenetic, and wind-driven overturning (Tandon and Garrett, 1994; Ferrari and Young, 1997; Thomas and Ferrari, 2008; Mahadevan et al., 2010).”
A global perspective on Langmuir turbulence in the ocean surface boundary layer (2012, unknown): “Again our understanding is not mature: there are competing effects, so for example it is not known whether randomly orientated fronts lead to a net deepening or shoaling of the mixed layer [ Thomas and Ferrari , 2008; Mahadevan et al. , 2010].”
Open-Ocean Submesoscale Motions: A Full Seasonal Cycle of Mixed Layer Instabilities from Gliders (2016, background): “…date, largely been achieved through careful numerical simulations (Haine and Marshall 1998; Boccaletti et al. 2007; Thomas et al. 2008; Capet et al. 2008; Taylor and Ferrari 2009, 2010; Mahadevan et al. 2010; Rosso et al. 2014) that directly resolve the evolution of submesoscale fronts and eddies.”
