Abstract: his paper uses the energetics framework developed by Scotti and White to provide a critical assessment of the widely used Thorpe-scale method, which is used to estimate dissipation and mixing rates in stratified turbulent ...

Abstract: he mixing efficiency observed in stratified turbulent boundary layers is considered within the framework of the Monin?Obukhov similarity theory. It is shown that the efficiency within the layer increases with distance from ...

Abstract: he ocean energy cycle is calculated using a new available potential energy (APE) decomposition, which partitions adiabatic buoyancy fluxes from diapycnal mixing, applied to results from the Estimating the Circulation and ...
