Ocean submesoscales as a key component of the global heat budget
Recent studies highlight that oceanic motions associated with horizontal scales smaller than
50 km, defined here as submesoscales, lead to anomalous vertical heat fluxes from colder to …

Eddy-driven stratification initiates North Atlantic spring phytoplankton blooms
Springtime phytoplankton blooms photosynthetically fix carbon and export it from the surface
ocean at globally important rates. These blooms are triggered by increased light exposure of …
