Abstract
Direct 9bservations of surface fronts in the subtropical convergence of the western North Atlantic have been made from rapid and densely sampled XBT surveys and by tracking surface drogues. Their rapid formati on (one or two days) and the temporal and spatial variation of frontal currents suggests that ageostrophic motions are crucial in the frontogenic process, in agreement with theoretical models....
