Efficiency of turbulent mixing in the abyssal ocean circulation
(American Geophysical UnionGeophysical Research Letters, 2017-07-17)
Turbulent mixing produced by breaking of internal waves plays an important role in setting the patterns of downwelling and upwelling of deep dense waters and thereby helps sustain the global deep ocean overturning circulation. ...
Role of overturns in optimal mixing in stratified mixing layers
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017-09-10)
Turbulent mixing plays a major role in enabling the large scale ocean circulation. The accuracy of mixing rates estimated from observations
depends on our understanding of basic fluid mechanical processes underlying the ...
