- •
The northern Gulf of Mexico circulation is simulated at two horizontal resolutions.
- •
Impacts of submesoscale dynamics and their seasonality are investigated submesoscale structures in winter consist of a mixture of fronts and eddies.
- •
Frontogenesis is strongest in summer due to high density gradients from river input.
