Linking Submesoscale Frontal Dynamics to the Large Scale Background Environment

Explore the intricate connections between submesoscale frontal dynamics and the larger-scale background environment in this 23-minute conference talk by Caitlin Whalen. Delve into the complex world of geophysical fluid dynamics, focusing on the multi-scale interactions that shape Earth's climate. Gain insights into how small-scale processes like turbulent mixing and instabilities influence energy transfers across various scales in oceanic and atmospheric systems. Learn about the challenges in observing and modeling these phenomena, and discover how combining analytical theories, numerical models, and observational measurements can advance our understanding of these critical climate processes.
