Direct Measurements of Turbulence in the Upper Western Pacific North Equatorial Current over a 25-h Period

Measurements of the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate (<i>ε</i>) were conducted by a free-fall microstructure profiler in the western Pacific North Equatorial Current (WPNEC) during a continuous period of 25 h, from the sea surface to about 160 m depth. In the mixed layer (ML), &...
