\nFronts play an important role in upper ocean processes. Fronts can impact ocean fisheries, for example, by influencing the spatial distribution of biological productivity and by controlling the accumulation of marine debris, which serves as a beacon to higher trophic levels.\n\n

\nProbability index is unitless, higher numbers indicate higher probability. \n
