Researchers have developed a generative deep learning framework to map the ocean's submesoscale energy cascade, a process crucial for understanding ocean circulation. By combining satellite observations with this AI model, they reconstructed kilometer-scale surface currents, revealing that submesoscale fronts are key regulators. These fronts facilitate energy transfer both downscale towards dissipation and upscale to sustain mesoscale eddies, with cross-scale transfer being significantly more efficient within fronts. AI
