<span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Roboto; background: white; color: rgb(31, 31, 31);" class="ContentPasted0">Description: We investigate the importance of model resolution in identifying the nature of mixing and dispersion in the Gulf of Mexico, by
comparing two data-assimilative, high-resolution simulations, one of which is submesoscale-resolving. Focusing on regions characterized by high submesoscale activity, we approach the notion of mixing by tracking the generation lagrangian transport barriers.
Higher fluid particle separation rates are revealed in the submesoscale-resolving case which indicates more vigorous mixing and increased homogeneity.<o:p class="ContentPasted0"> </o:p></span></p>

Description: <span style="color: black;" class="ContentPasted0">Most of the circulation in the Gulf of Mexico occurs above the base of the main thermocline, roughly 1000m, and the Gulf of Mexico behaves like a two-layer system. The upper layer (<1000m) is dominated
by the surface intensified Loop Current (LC) and mesoscale eddies, and the lower layer currents are nearly depth-independent currents. When a Loop Current eddy forms and detaches, a noticeable increase in eddy kinetic energy occurs in the lower layer through
baroclinic instability. In this study, the impact of the bottom drag on the circulation of the Gulf of Mexico is investigated using decadal simulations of the Gulf of Mexico HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (GoM-HYCOM).</span><o:p class="ContentPasted0"> </o:p></p>
