Recent simulations suggest that submesoscale motions with scales smaller than 30 km and frequencies greater than 1 day−1 drive upward vertical heat transport. These simulations have prompted us to revisit the mechanisms that explain high-frequency vertical heat fluxes (VHFs) within the surface mixed layer (ML).
