Abyssal Upwelling and Downwelling Driven by Near-Boundary Mixing
Published 2017“…For a given amount of Antarctic Bottom Water that is upwelled through neutral density surfaces in the abyssal ocean (between 2000 and 5000 m), up to 5 times this volume flux is upwelled in narrow, turbulent, sloping bottom boundary layers, while up to 4 times the net upward volume transport of Bottom Water flows downward across isopycnals in the near-boundary stratified ocean interior. …”

Evidence for Enhanced Eddy Mixing at Middepth in the Southern Ocean
Published 2010“…It is shown that the flow can simultaneously support a PV diffusivity peaking at 5000 m[superscript 2] s[superscript −1] or so near the middepth steering level and a buoyancy diffusivity that is much smaller, of order 1000 m[superscript 2] s[superscript −1], exhibiting less vertical structure. …”
