The marine environment is characterized by complex interactions between the upper ocean and the atmospheric boundary layer. Oceanic fronts, particularly thermal fronts, and eddies are the most active areas for the air-sea interaction. They are the areas where two water masses, having different properties, mix. Their spatial and temporal scales range from meters to hundreds of kilometer and seconds to several days. There are several reasons for the atmosphere to be affected by oceanic fronts and eddies. Firstly as air is blown across the ocean, SST gradient, an air-sea temperature difference...
