This document discusses a new eddy tracker product for the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) that provides additional properties associated with 2D circulation forecasts from CMEMS models. It also discusses how intense mesoscale frontogenesis can induce submesoscale processes and significant vertical motion at oceanic fronts, recommending the diagnosis and forecast of vertical velocity be included in future CMEMS catalog updates. The project discussed occurred from 2016 to 2018 and was led by Simon Ruiz of IMEDEA (CSIC-UIB).
