Efficiency of turbulent mixing in the abyssal ocean circulation

Efficiency of turbulent mixing in the abyssal ocean circulation

Turbulent mixing produced by breaking of internal waves plays an important role in setting the patterns of downwelling and upwelling of deep dense waters and thereby helps sustain the global deep ocean overturning circulation. A key parameter used to characterize turbulent mixing is its efficiency,...
