Observations and modeling of symmetric instability in the ocean interior in the Northwestern Equatorial Pacific

Symmetric instability can occur in the ocean interior, and reveals a previously unrecognized route to energy dissipation in the ocean, suggest direct microstructure measurements from the Northwestern Equatorial Pacific Ocean.
