Dynamics of an Abyssal Circulation Driven by Bottom-Intensified Mixing on Slopes
The large-scale circulation of the abyssal ocean is enabled by small-scale diapycnal mixing, which observations suggest is strongly enhanced toward the ocean bottom, where the breaking of internal tides and lee waves is most vigorous. As discussed recently, bottom-intensified mixing induces a patter...
