Mesoscale oceanic structures have a key role on the oceanic global circulation through the enhancement of large-scale fluxes of heat, salt, momentum, and biogeochemical tracers. Moreover, mesoscale vertical motions may have an important contribution on the nutrient replenishment of the euphotic laye...
