Mesoscale and Frontal-Scale Air-Sea Interactions Workshop

# Basic Info [Website and Agenda](https://usclivar.org/meetings/mesoscale-and-frontal-scale-agenda) # Notes ## Lucas Laurindo (U Miami) * The impact of resolution on thermal heat flux (THF): Kirtman et al (2012), Bishop et al (2017). He showed figures of correlation between THF and SST, THF and dSST/dt. * Atmoshperic response to mesoscale : Small and Masadek et al (2019), Small and Bryan et al (2019), Small et al (2020) * Timescale matters: Laurindo et al (2022) # References: * Kirtman, B.
