Los procesos de submesoescala a debate

• Dynamics of frontal and mixed-layer instabilities (forced and unforced) and their implications.
• Impact of winds and surface forcing on the mixed layer and submesoscale instabilities.
• Surface boundary layer turbulence and submesoscale instabilities, large-eddy simulation and observations of surface waves, Langmuir circulations. Their implications for air-sea coupling.
• Surface signatures of submesoscale dynamics from remotely sensed surface topography, roughness, and ocean color.
• Mesoscale-submesoscale interactions, energy cascades, impact of submesoscales on larger/smaller scales
• Physical-biological interactions — implications for biogeochemistry, productivity, export, ecosystem structure and diversity
• Freshwater in the oceans — implications of submesoscale processes for sea ice, river plumes and freshwater dispersal
• Coastal submesoscale dynamics — interaction with topography and the bottom boundary
• Wave-front/eddy interactions Interaction of internal waves and submesoscale fronts/ eddies
• Modelling issues related to multi-scale and multi-physics nature of the processes and in particular model nesting, unstructured grids and developments of new discretization schemes.
