Abstract: AbstractIn situ observations obtained over the last several decades have shown that the intensity of turbulent mixing in the abyssal ocean is enhanced toward the seafloor. Consequently, a new paradigm has emerged whereby ...

Abstract: he abyssal ocean is primarily filled by cold, dense waters formed around Antarctica and collectively referred to as Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). At steady state, AABW must be consumed in the ocean interior at the same ...

Abstract: n studies of ocean mixing, it is generally assumed that small-scale turbulent overturns lose 15%?20% of their energy in eroding the background stratification. Accumulating evidence that this energy fraction, or mixing ...
