This article is a perspective on the recently discovered realm of submesoscale currents in
the ocean. They are intermediate-scale flow structures in the form of density fronts and …

The motivation to study the vertical exchanges of tracers associated with mesoscale eddies
is that the mean concentration of most oceanic tracers changes rapidly with depth. Because …

Satellite observations of the last two decades have led to a major breakthrough emphasizing
the existence of a strongly energetic mesoscale turbulent eddy field in all the oceans. This …

Most of the kinetic energy of ocean circulation is contained in ubiquitous mesoscale eddies.
Their prominent signatures in sea surface height have rendered satellite altimetry highly …
