Evaporation induced convection enhances mixing in the upper ocean
The upper ocean surface layer is directly affected by the air-sea fluxes. The diurnal variations in these fluxes also cause the upper ocean mixed layer turbulence and mixing to diurnally vary. The underlying thermohaline structure also varies accordingly throughout the day. Here we use large-eddy si...
