Special Seminar Announcement
Title: Submesoscale instabilities at ocean fronts: a review and new result
Presenter: Christian E. Buckingham

Abstract:
Fronts within the ocean surface boundary layer have been identified as agents for enhanced communication between deeper ocean waters and the atmosphere. Given the importance of such exchanges for biogeochemistry and physics in the ocean and atmosphere, obtaining a better understanding of the dynamics of such phenomena appears paramount for better predicting Earth’s regional and global climate.
Mesoscale fronts and eddies are ocean phenomena with horizontal scales of 50 to 200 km and evolving over time scales of days to months. These have received much of the community’s attention during the preceding 50 years, in part because of the widespread use of satellite altimetry. However, advances in autonomous observing platforms and the exponential increase in computational resources available to numerical modelers have afforded scientists an ability to study smaller-scale phenomena. Referred to as “submesoscale” and characterized by horizontal scales of 1 to 10 km and time scales of hours to days, these smaller-scale fronts and eddies are marked by elevated horizontal and vertical shears, reduced stratification, and, consequently, enhanced vertical velocities relative to those found within mesoscale fronts. More recently, scientists have
demonstrated that they can significantly impact local energy, buoyancy, and tracer exchanges in the upper ocean and may have a corresponding global footprint.
In this presentation, I will attempt to review efforts to better understand dynamics within submesoscale fronts. In particular, I will focus on instabilities as departures from balanced flow such as gravitational, symmetric, and inertial or centrifugal instabilities, as well as a mixed layer analogue of the classical baroclinic instability first described by Charney, Eady, and later Stone. Finally, I summarize my own effort to better understand the role of centrifugal forces in ocean fronts and how this might lead to new directions
for the scientific community. The emphasis in this presentation will be on developing a heuristic understanding but I will provide concrete scientific results where possible.
