\subsubsection{Quality checks}

The SOCIB coastal research vessel (R/V) was used to sample the area with vertical profiles acquired though the CTD. Two distinct CTD legs were performed on a 10~km $\times$ 5~km resolution grid, as depicted in Fig.~\ref{fig3:CTD}: the first survey was run from May 26 to 27 and consisted of 34 casts along 5 meridional legs. The second survey took place from May 29 to 30 and was made up of 28 casts. The casts from both surveys were performed at almost similar locations in order to allow for detecting changes between the two periods. On average the profiles reached a maximal depth of approximatively 600~m.

\subsection{Gliders}

To collect measurements addressing the submesoscale, two gliders were deployed on May 25 inside the study area. The coastal glider carried out measurements up to 200~m depth and the deep glider up to 500~m. The horizontal resolution was about 0.5~km for the shallow and 1~km for the deep glider. The initial sampling strategy consisted in two 50-km long, meridional tracks, 10 kilometers away one from the other, and to repeat these tracks up to 4 times during the experiment. However, due to the strong zonal currents in the frontal zone, different tracks (Fig.~\ref{fig6:glidertracks}) crossing the front several times were made instead.

The velocities exhibit a dominant eastward current with speed locally larger than 1~m/s and that signal is clearly visible in the first 100~m of the water column. The velocity field is illustrated in Fig.~\ref{fig9a:adcp} where each velocity vector is shown as a bar with a color depending on the intensity. The vertical structure is also displayed along with the front position.

\subsubsection{Configuration}

The current profiler is an Ocean Surveyor ADCP (Teledyne RD Instruments) operating at 150KH
