Shear at the Base of the Oceanic Mixed Layer Generated by Wind Shear Alignment
Observations are used to evaluate a simple theoretical model for the generation of near-inertial shear spikes at the base of the open ocean mixed layer when the upper ocean displays a two-layer structure. The model predicts that large changes in shear squared can be produced by the alignment of the...
