  abstract = {{T}he {P}eruvian upwelling system encompasses the most intense and shallowest oxygen minimum zone ({OMZ}) in the ocean. {T}his system shows pronounced submesoscale activity like filaments and fronts. {W}e carried out glider-based observations off {P}eru during austral summer 2013 to investigate whether submesoscale frontal processes ventilate the {P}eruvian {OMZ}. {W}e present observational evidence for the subduction of highly oxygenated surface water in a submesoscale cold filament. {T}he subduction event ventilates the oxycline but does not reach {OMZ} core waters. {I}n a regional submesoscale-permitting model we study the pathways of newly upwelled water. {A}bout 50% of upwelled virtual floats are subducted below the mixed layer within 5days emphasizing a hitherto unrecognized importance of subduction for the ventilation of the {P}eruvian oxycline.},
