Low ocean-floor rises regulate subpolar sea surface temperature by forming baroclinic jets

Sea surface temperature fronts in mid-and-high latitudes give significant impacts on atmospheric circulations and climate. Here, the authors uncover a new mechanism on the sea surface front genesis in the subpolar oceans in which small-amplitude bottom topography is surprisingly effective.
