Distribution, Mixing, and Transformation of a Loop Current Ring Waters: The Case of Gulf of Mexico
Abstract Mesoscale warm‐core rings, known as Loop Current rings (LCRs) reshape the Gulf of Mexico water masses by redistributing large amounts of heat and salt laterally. LCRs also transform water masses via diapycnal mixing, but the mechanisms by which this occurs are poorly measured. Here, we pres...
