Suppressed Thermocline Mixing in the Center of Anticyclonic Eddy in the North South China Sea

Direct microstructure observations and fine-scale measurements of an anticyclonic mesoscale eddy were conducted in the northern South China Sea in July 2020. An important finding was that suppressed turbulent mixing in the thermocline existed at the center of the eddy, with an averaged diapycnal dif...
