Short summary
This study reveals the structure and alteration of a narrow freshwater-driven ocean low-density filament and its evolution through tidal modulationa an dlocale filament kinematics. Using multi-platform in situ observations, it is shown that these submesoscale features can rapidly being altered and reshape in near-surface waters, influencing how energy and heat alter just below the ocean-atmosphere interface.
