Mixing efficiency is the ratio of the net change in potential energy to the energy expended in
producing the mixing. Parameterizations of efficiency and of related mixing coefficients are …

The authors present inferences of diapycnal diffusivity from a compilation of over 5200
microstructure profiles. As microstructure observations are sparse, these are supplemented …

The actual impact on vertical transport of small-scale turbulence in the free atmosphere is
still a debated issue. Numerous estimates of an eddy diffusivity exist, clearly showing a lack …

A patch of sulfur hexafluoride was released in May 1992 in the eastern North Atlantic on an
isopycnal surface near 300 m depth and was surveyed over a period of 30 months as it …

Internal-wave-driven dissipation rates ε and diapycnal diffusivities K are inferred globally
using a finescale parameterization based on vertical strain applied to~ 30 000 hydrographic …

Detailed observations of the structure within internal solitary waves propagating shoreward
over Oregon's continental shelf reveal the evolving nature of interfaces as they become …

This paper presents some research developments in primitive equation ocean models which
could impact the ocean component of realistic global coupled climate models aimed at large …

The time evolution of mixing in turbulent overturns is investigated using a combination of
direct numerical simulations (DNS) and microstructure profiles obtained during two field …

Velocity, temperature, and salinity profile surveying in Monterey Submarine Canyon during
spring tide reveals an internal wave field almost an order of magnitude more energetic than …

Turbulence resulting from Kelvin–Helmholtz instability in layers of localized stratification and
shear is studied by means of direct numerical simulation. Our objective is to present a …
