Observational Evidence of Cold Filamentary Intensification in an Energetic Meander of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current

Abstract Eddy stirring at mesoscale oceanic fronts generates finescale filaments, visible in submesoscale-resolving model simulations and high-resolution satellite images of sea surface temperature, ocean color, and sea ice. Submesoscale filaments have widths of O (1–10) km and evolve on time scales... View More
