Comment
An oceanic front caused by intrusion of cold water mass from southeast and intense mixing is outlined by bands of biogenic surfactant films (black filaments, 3) and trains of oceanic internal waves (dark and bright stripes, 2). The whole scene is crossed by atmospheric internal waves (1) propagating from southeast.
